Why study at TECH?

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

##IMAGE##

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.

Advanced Master's Degree in Psychological Intervention in Psychosomatic Personality Disorders and Psychoses

.

Despite the constant study and research of psychological disorders, specialists in this field consider that there are still uncertainties in the knowledge of the links between mental illnesses, personality disorders and somatic disorders. This means that the elaboration of diagnoses vacillates between the criteria of each of the clinical categories and often requires constant updating to allow early identification of abnormal traits, especially in the stages of childhood or adolescence. TECH Global University has created this Advanced Master's Degree in Psychological Intervention of Psychosomatic Personality Disorders and Psychosis, with the aim of solving such theoretical-practical tensions that affect professionals in the field of psychology today. The program offers a set of updated contents in the approach to psychosomatic disorders and psychosis, from which the postulates and techniques of Gestalt psychology and the behavioral-behavioral model are reviewed. It also delves into the different types of intervention, psychotherapy and psychosomatic clinical practice, in order to cover the holistic analysis of social, biological and environmental factors.

Postgraduate degree in psychological intervention of disorders

.

The renewal of professional content, as a consequence of constant scientific progress, is one of the requirements of today's world. The work of the psychologist does not escape this demand and, therefore, TECH designed this program with which professionals in this area will be able to understand the functioning of the systems involved in psychological pathologies (the central nervous system, the autonomic, endocrine and immune systems), in relation to the expression and somatization of emotions. Likewise, the postgraduate course provides the key tools to build multidisciplinary framing models, which prioritize the study of biopsychosocial frameworks of the psychotherapy-pharmacology relationship. With this conglomerate of knowledge in psychosomatic disorders and psychosis, professionals will be able to identify the new ways in which the psyche can become ill and the symptomatic mutations of personality disorders. In addition, psychologists will be able to conduct thorough and systematic examinations that will enable them to delineate comprehensive differential diagnoses and, in turn, implement intervention models in daily clinical practice.
