Psychology faces nowadays for a major change of theoretical and conceptual paradigm. This change was quite marked in the 90s, which was considered the "decade of the brain" when the number of behavioral studies based on brain functioning significantly increased. The mainstream of the behavioral sciences returned to the monistic materialistic notion that the brain and behavior are inextricably intertwined. This idea came out of basic research laboratories and influenced strongly in applied research in psychopathology and psychotherapy. This narrative review aims to draw up a current view of the scientific enterprise, with emphasis on efforts within the areas of clinical psychology and psychopathology. It is also discussed to what extent this paradigm shift can reach the professional practice of psychology.
