<p><strong>Abstract </strong></p>
<p>In the current context population’s mental health requires, not only an immediate response from the healthcare providers, but also that this response is based on evidence. A thoughtful and critical vision of the psychological approaches in emergency situations like the current covid19 pandemic is presented in a comprehensive manner. There is remarkable importance of the interventions with empirical support and the specific conditions that must be put into practice during crisis situations. In these cases the psychological approach differs from the usual conditions, therefore, it must be integrated to other disciplines field, such as epidemiology. Regardless of the theoretical reference framework and the evaluation and intervention strategies, it is suggested that they are appropriate to the historical-cultural context, specifically pre-set and articulated from a public institutional policy, which manage, coordinate and decide the purpose of the intervention and/or treatment devices, and the responsible behaviour of the healthcare providers in charge.</p>
