This model is known as the cognitive-behavioural approach of evaluation and intervention in the field of clinical psychology. Nevertheless, in the light of expansion in the applications of psychology and regarding the new challenges that it creates, we found it more interesting when writing these lines trying to define the functions and to enclose the fields of action of the psychologist, both in the field of mental health in particular and in the field of health in generalapplication/pdfspaopenAccessPSICOLOGIAPSICOTERAPIAS COMPORTAMENTAISSAÚDE MENTALTERAPIAS COGNITIVASDOENÇAS MENTAISESPANHAPSYCHOLOGYBEHAVIORAL PSYCHOTHERAPIESCOGNITIVE THERAPIESMENTAL HEALTHMENTAL ILLNESSESSPAINarticle
