Abstract: The intersection of Psychology and Oncology is being developed exponentially. However, there is still a way to go about psychological intervention in men with Prostate Cancer (PCa) in Portugal. Therefore, this literature review addresses the need to implement a multidisciplinary psychological intervention plan in this target population, focusing on reducing the mortality rate, increasing quality of life, and contributing to environmental sustainability. The research was carried out through academic and scientific platforms: b-on, Google Scholar, and PubMed resulting in a final sample of 54 articles after applying the eligibility criteria. Studies reveal that any program’s planning and development process is critical to a successful intervention. The data demonstrate that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the most frequently used approach in conjunction with humanistic methods.
