• Abstract:

   In this study we present a critical

  reflection on the absence of the epistemological

  dimension in the qualitative researches in

  Psychology and the impact of what characterized

  the path of the scientific doing from the positivist

  philosophy until its arrival and permanence

  in the human sciences, taking into account

  its appropriation by the Psychology . After

  discussing some aspects of this trajectory, we

  present the Qualitative Epistemology proposed

  by González Rey, showing from the scene of his

  birth to its epistemological and methodological

  implications designed for the study of the

  subjectivity produced in the conditions of

  the cultural-historical context. Following are

  presented its three principles, with which it

  concomitantly discusses the advances of this

  proposal for the epistemological rescue in the

  qualitative research in Psychology. Finally,

  the heuristic value of this Epistemology for

  the production of the knowledge of complex

  phenomena in the scope of the research in

  Psychology is shown
