Resumo
The paradigm of evidence-based practice in psychology presents critical limitations regarding (a) the diagnostic units used as an inferential basis, (b) the transition from empirical evidence to individual clinical decisions, and (c) the analytical granularity of investigations into interventions. One proposal to address these limitations is Process-Based Therapy (PBT), a scientific strategy that seeks to understand and modify processes of change on a case-by case basis, guiding interventions through treatment kernels. However, the notion of the "kernel" remains diffuse and limited in literature, leading to inaccuracies regarding the essential elements for its characterization as a unit of intervention. Given this conceptual gap, this dissertation aims to establish conceptual and structural criteria for characterizing treatment kernels and propose a structured description guide grounded in the strategic pillars of PBT. To this end, an exploratory analysis of the literature was conducted, selected based on relevance criteria and systematized through a tagging scheme. This approach allowed for the consolidation of the strategic pillars of PBT, advancement in the conceptual and structural delimitation of kernels, and the provision of a description guide that facilitates their characterization and practical replication.
