The authors define their concept of psychodiagnostic process as inserted within the doctor-patient relationship general context. Five stages are described (a) administering technique, (b) collecting information, (d) writing report, and (e) retrieving information, and termination. Psychodiagnosis is considered under an epistemological criterion. The report is drawn up according to a phenomenological method. This paper ends up with some reflexions about the concepts of health, disease, doctor-patient relationship, and auxiliary means for diagnosis.
