The qualitative approach in the social and human sciences enriches the perspective of the one who seeks to know more, to go deeper, to the core of the behaviors and their etiology, in the interwove net that is the Man and his relations. These fields of Science endow, or seek to endow, the researcher with the tools and knowledge to anatomize the social being, Man, the individual. It is not unreasonable to assert that human beings cannot be adequately investigated, without the use of a multidisciplinary and / or interdisciplinary perspective, intrinsic to the social and human sciences, as well as to the natural and health sciences (Chizotti 2006).
