The Postgraduate certificate in Psychological Treatments in Cancer and Third Generation Therapies Therapies will present those cognitive behavioral models that have been developed to reduce the patient's anxiety and immune response, favoring the acceptance of the diagnosis and coping with the disease. All of these are factors that, when not properly addressed, have an impact on the health of the individual. Therefore, this program helps to facilitate the alliance with the medical team and the patient.
