Presentation

The Postgraduate Department of the School of Health Sciences is pleased to invite you to the postgraduate course:

«Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy»

After several decades of research on the effectiveness of existing tools, psychology today has a wide variety of answers and treatment options for specific ailments. Unfortunately, this valuable information does not always reach the professionals who practice the clinic. For this reason, this diploma aims to operate as a bridge between clinical practice and research, bridging the gap that has persisted between them for decades.

To this end, the aim will be to favor an integration based on bibliographic updating in the students and guide the application through practice in a safe context. The clinical exercises will be promoted at the same level of relevance as the theoretical training.

The objective of this proposal is to promote theoretical training and training in therapeutic skills for an efficient practice of psychotherapy, appropriate to the patient's demand.

To achieve this objective, continuous training and evaluation will be carried out, as well as an integrative final exam.
