This article discusses the implications of the method in the production of truth in Psychology through the concept of analysis as formulated by the institutional discourse analysis. For this purpose, it prepares a reflection that starts from the foucaultian conception of discourse towards the notions of institution, subject and analysis with which it works in the proposed perspective. Developed by Marlene Guirado, the institutional discourse analysis is established as an organization of ideas that allow an analytic of subjectivity, in which the role played by the method is regarded in the production of the truths that it formulates. This account is made possible by an analysis that, differently from an interpretation, interrogates the modes of discourse production (and the truths therein made), rather than its signification, task intermediated by the analysis of the conditions of possibility of enunciation and subjectification in a given context, from which it proposes a practice in Psychology that recognizes the character of artificial production in opposition to the natural discovery of truth.
