With acceptance and commitment therapy you will help your patients to assimilate the negative aspects of their cancer experience"

Cancer is associated with an experience of suffering and vulnerability, which generates high levels of stress in patients and their families. Consequently, more and more voices in the scientific community advocate the need to provide psychological support to those affected by the disease, as this reduces the side effects of exhaustion, increasing the quality of life and survival. 

Accordingly, this Postgraduate diploma in Psychological Treatment of Cancer Patients and their Families will focus, first of all, on providing the most relevant cognitive-behavioral models within the discipline. Therefore, the student will learn the techniques of problem solving, cognitive restructuring, guided imagination, among others. All of them have been tested by experts in the area and have proven to be suitable to help the process of coping with the disease. Additionally, they facilitate the alliance between the physician and the patient at the moment of planning a strategy that helps to improve the quality of life of the patient. 

Secondly, the impact of the location of the tumor on the patient's psyche will be studied. In this way, the student will learn to discriminate between the emotions generated by colorectal cancer and those derived from breast cancer, the latter receiving greater attention from the scientific community due to its great impact on self-esteem, body image and the female role in society. 

Finally, they will learn about the interventions that are applied in areas related to cancer, allowing students to develop a program that helps people to prevent lung disease as a result of years of tobacco abuse. Additionally, they will be able to select and train volunteers to create an external support network for the patient. For all these reasons, the physician will be more than qualified to participate in an integral way in any oncological hospital center at a national and international level.
