The hypothesis of researchers on the subject, has been that the negative impact that certain external factors may have on the development of emotional and behavioral problems in children and adolescents, is directly shaped by family structure and dynamics. In many cases, stress factors can modify the family environment to such an extent that they become dysfunctional”

In this sense, the protective effect of family relationships has traditionally been highlighted in the face of certain adverse situations. These are as diverse as work problems, economic difficulties or the loss of loved ones. But the family can also be
a source of stress, and it has been pointed out in this regard that family stress has a particularly powerful capacity as a pathogenic element. This is because stress factors originating in the family tend to be, unlike others, frequent and recurrent.
Role conflict, personal characteristics of some of its members, inadequate communication patterns or the implications of parental pathologies on children are some of the most discussed aspects.

This Postgraduate diploma is unique in that it addresses those aspects that have received the most attention in the research carried out on the subject. To this end, we develop some questions regarding the relationship between external stress factors, family interaction and psychological problems in children and adolescents.
