Introduction
In order to ground scientifically the construct of Dialogical Identity, it has to be properly and coherently placed in the epistemological frame of the discursive science. The adoption of the Narrativistic Paradigm ( to explicit the assumptions it is based on, as well as the Dialogical Identity theory) is the references used to define the Dialogical Identity as the result of interaction of discursive processes involved in the generation of a certain discursive configuration.
Method
The epistemological analysis of the paradigmatic assumptions and the Dialogical Identity theory allows to evaluate how the Dialogical Identity construct both accomplish the discursive science criteria of epistemological foundation and methodological correctness.
Discussion
On the basis of the epistemological foundation to assume the Dialogical Identity as object of knowledge results scientifically correct. It also allows to describe accurately the relationships with the paradigmatic assumptions of the Narrativistic Paradigm, referring to the knowledge level, and with the Dialogical Model referring to the working level. The Dialogical Model allows to define a shared and valuable objective for the intervention also epistemologically founded. This by virtue of the epistemological analysis of its assumptions
