In this Advanced master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and Child and Adolescent Psychopathology, the psychologist will be able to incorporate all the knowledge within the diagnoses suggested in the I.C.D.-10 or the D.S.M. V and include them in the model of time-limited psychotherapy. 

As a educational institution, it is essential for us to teach the psychologists who study this Advanced master’s degree the different components in the psychological treatment of children and adolescents, to know the logic and processing in the child and adolescent brain, as well as their particular strategies of behavior and interaction in the psychosocial relationship. All this knowledge is crucial to successfully carry out psychological intervention of a child or adolescent. 

From our experience we know that the therapist's personal skills are crucial, that's why this syllabus includes multiple strategies and skills to achieve an effective bond both in the evaluation and diagnosis, as well as in the intervention with this type of patient. 

Clinical Psychology in this historic moment should provide the student with not only a theoretical-scientific framework, but also with the skills to address mental illnesses in an effective way and thus make them successful evaluators as well as the instigators of change in a patient. These changes could be both in their behavioral component and in their traumatic memories that lead to cycle of suffering and emotional isolation. 

Child and adolescent psychopathology can only be fully understood from an integral and evolutionary point of view. Childhood personality is determined within psychological and psychopathological experiences. Adaptation will not be understood without the keys to the infant's emotional and cognitive dynamism. Numerous real clinical cases, broken down in detail in all the diagnostic, intervention and family framing actions, make this a unique teaching. 

We know that psychopathology in general and child and adolescent psychopathology in particular, is not static, as it depends on the permanent evolution of our society, with the result that in recent decades there have been changes in the way children and adolescents relate to each other, both in terms of health and disease.
