Evidence-based practices (EBPs) have been gaining protagonism in the context of mental health research by approaching therapists’ clinical decision-making. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) involves different procedures and practices, as well as it shows great efficacy and effectiveness in the treatment of many psychopathologies. The goal of the current study was to conduct a scoping review, based on the PRISMA-ScR protocol, to evaluate the theoretical basis, main approaches, implementation and dissemination challenges, and critics focused on EBP’s impact on CBT’s clinical practice. The article research was done in six databases. Twenty-one publications were selected from which twelve consisted of empirical studies and nine were characterized as narrative literature reviews. The main themes discussed by the analyzed studies referred to the beliefs, knowledge, and attitudes of CBT therapists in the application of EBP in their clinical practice. Moreover, psychotherapists’ training and criticism related to CBT were also relevant topics to the selected research. It is estimated that the present scoping review has made it possible to map the barriers and potentials of implementing EBP in the clinical practice of CBT.

Las Prácticas Basadas en la Evidencia (PBEs) han ganado protagonismo en el escenario de la pesquisa en salud mental por hacer referencia a la tomada de decisión clínica de los terapeutas. La Terapia Cognitivo-Conductual (TCC) envuelve diversos procedimientos y prácticas, además de demostrar gran eficacia y eficiencia en el tratamiento de diversas psicopatologías. El objetivo del presente estudio fue realizar una revisión de escopo, fundamentada en el protocolo PRISMA-ScR, para evaluar las bases teóricas, modalidades principales, desafíos de implementación y diseminación y críticas relacionadas con las PBEs, dando más atención al impacto de eses factores en el contexto de la práctica clínica de la TCC. La busca por artículos fue hecha en seis bases de dados. Fueron seleccionadas 21 pesquisas, dónde doce eran estudios empíricos y nueve se caracterizaban como revisiones. Las temáticas principales de los estudios analizados se referenciaban a las creencias, conocimientos y actitudes de los terapeutas en TCC acerca del uso de la PBE en la práctica clínica. Además, el entrenamiento de terapeutas y las críticas también fueran tópicos relevantes para las pesquisas seleccionadas. La presente revisión de escopo posibilitó la presentación de las barreras y potencialidades de la implementación de la PBE en la TCC.
