In-depth knowledge of psychological pathologies in this comprehensive Advanced master’s degree, created to propel you to another professional level" 

The Advanced master’s degree in Psychological Intervention in Psychosomatic Personality Disorders and Psychoses offers psychologists a complete and specific specialization in these areas, which will allow them to make more accurate and effective diagnoses. 

The program includes everything we know today about what happens between the Central Nervous System, the Autonomic System, the Endocrine System and the Immunological System, when human beings express their emotional conflicts through their bodies. 

Special emphasis is also placed on the knowledge of schizophrenia, a term that was introduced by Bleuler in 1911, who considered it more appropriate to emphasize the splitting that occurs in the association of ideas, emotions and contact with reality and social life. Today, schizophrenia is still one of the major challenges of science, as it affects approximately 1% of the population. 

There is still a huge gap between our knowledge of specific mental illnesses and our knowledge of personality disorders. Some personality disorders classically considered to be character-dependent have in fact been shown to be subsyndromal forms of specific illnesses. Most patients tend to show behaviors (and problems) suggestive of a personality disorder, which may make the clinician overlook syndromes unrelated to personality. 

A thorough and systematic mental status examination is essential in the assessment of patients presenting a psychotic disorder or personality disorder. On the other hand, bipolar disorder is another syndrome that has a characteristic impact at the family level. Moreover, as it is an episodic disease that often returns after the acute episode to previous levels of normal functioning, the immediate consequence is that the individual between episodes tends to work, marry and have children in spite of his/her disease, because given the absence of symptoms, he/she is in a position to do so. 

Throughout the specialization, students will go through all the current approaches used in psychology work to the different challenges the profession presents. A high-level step that will become a process of improvement, not only on a professional level, but also on a personal level. 

This challenge is one of TECH's social commitments: to help highly qualified professionals specialize and develop their personal, social and work skills during the course of their studies.
