Diploma in Contextual Therapies: principles and clinical skills
From April to December 2026
Synchronous online
Training in contextual therapies, with emphasis on conceptual deepening and clinical skills training for conceptualization and intervention from DBT, ACT, FAP and Behavioral Activation.
Foundation
In recent decades, evidence-based psychological treatments have experienced increasing expansion and consolidation internationally. Among them, the so-called Third Generation Therapies stand out, revolutionizing contemporary clinical practice with interventions focused on acceptance, psychological flexibility, and the value of context in behavioral change.
This Diploma program aims to provide an overview and in-depth study of the development, characteristics, conceptualization, and main intervention strategies of Contextual Therapies models. It seeks to foster in graduates an integration based on updated literature and training in the core skills and/or competencies of each therapy, in order to guide their application in clinical psychology practice.

- Acquire basic skills for case conceptualization and for the design and implementation of treatments based on third-generation models.
- To delve deeper into the main clinical intervention strategies of each model.
Modality and duration
The activity will take place from April to December 2026, in a synchronous online format via Google Meet.
