Abstract: Conducting qualitative psychological research that addresses controversial, embarrassing or politically correct issues demands measures that facilitate the expression of participants’ subjective positions. By motivating imaginative associations, mediating resources seem to meet this need well, entailing it deserves to be studied. Methodologically organized as an integrative literature review based on consultations of the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Electronic Journals in Psychology (PEPsic), Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS) and The United States National Library of Medicine (PubMed), the present article aims to investigate the use of the Thematic Drawing-and-Story Procedure [D-E (T)] in qualitative investigations. The chosen databases have provided 25 articles published between 2017 and 2023 and used as a sole resource or accompanied by others. Approaching various populations and various phenomena with different theoretical frameworks, these studies, according to this review, show that the use of the PDE-T favours the generation of significant, reliable and useful empirical material in the production of comprehensive knowledge. Conclusion: Therefore, there is a body of knowledge that makes it possible to affirm that the PDE-T is an important and promising interview mediator in the field of qualitative research.
