Abstract
The biographical report has become an appropriate qualitative research to explore subjective visions about phenomena such as illnesses or human suffering. The qualitative analysis in this type of designs particularly and in qualitative research in general, constitutes one of the aspects in which the researchers can find greater difficulty, because of the variability of analytic currents. The purpose of this report is to propose a systematic analysis of a biographical text in order to facilitate its use to those writers about biographical studies so they can improve the documentary processing and its comprehension. At he same time, in a general way, it may contribute to an useful analytic guide for the qualitative researchers. The analytic sequence is an adaptation of the practical proposal by Taylor-Bogdan: Preparation of the data, finding new topics, codification, interpretation, relativizing and decision of the severity.
