This article presents a theoretical review of the Evidence-Based Practice and the Practice-Based Evidence in psychotherapy, the latter is explained in depth considering its association with the research of the effectiveness in psychotherapy. Subsequently, the functioning of this last paradigm in health systems, particularly in mental health care is contextualized, emphasizing its applicability in routine evaluation and its potential to contribute to the field of research in psychotherapy. Finally, some conclusions are presented on how to promote research based on the paradigm of Practice-Based Evidence in psychotherapeutic contexts, based on Practice Research Networks in Latin American countries.
