Abstract
This article summarizes the findings of a bibliographic review of the Lacanian Discourse Analysis as a research method in which psychology, literature, psychoanalysis and some social sciences have been underpinning in recent years to make a critical reading of human events. . The lack of a publication that explicitly explains the procedure to follow in its practice, has raised this search for the principles and foundations followed by different authors during the last two decades with the aim of providing a guide for researchers interested in this method, recently integrated within the framework of psychosocial studies. Among the principles are: the inevitability of positioning by the researcher, the literal reading of the symbolic in the concrete materiality of the speech, the textual indeterminacy, the real subject in the enunciating act, the mapping of the text, the particularity of the truth and the link between theory and practice as inseparable elements. In addition to them, a critique of the method is reviewed as a way of accounting for the contradictions, gaps and inconsistencies that all symbolic construction entails in its own formulation.
