This paper aims to present succinctly some parameters for discussion about the epistemological status of psychoanalysis. With that purpose addressed, the relationship between naturalism and hermeneutics was analyzed. In order to show that psychoanalysis does not fit entirely in either of the models if we consider the first as a kind of relativism an inflation of the sense and the second as a kind of reductionist physicalism. To clarify the uniqueness of psychoanalysis some historical considerations on Freudian naturalism were made. Philosophical, epistemological and ontological perspectives were also taken into consideration concerning the semantic of nature and its limits.
