Description
As a clinical psychologist, you should know the factors that surround a personality disorder in children and help them to address it in a safe way”
A lot of the time, during children, a personality disorder can develop from various different situations. This escalates to later stages of development and affects children's social and emotional interactions. Taking measures to help detect these factors is the work of clinical psychologists, who search for ways to guarantee the correct development of their child and adolescent patients.
For all these reasons, this program will go deep into the subject and will bring the student closer to the methodologies used in the diagnosis of a personality disorder. It starts by analyzing and identifying different pathologies, establishing a clinical framework. This will lay the foundations for understanding the different methods of intervention in clinical psychology, which help to modify behavior towards a more acceptable behavior for the chronological age of the infant.
In many cases it is necessary to use another type of approach and for these situations there are certain practices such as the biofeedback technique, in which precision instruments are used to modify a physiological activity in order to improve health. Children can also be asked to play games, draw pictures or tell stories to allow them to express the symptom and find the problem of their behavior. All of the above can be applied to situations related to grief, maltreatment, abuse and other situations which require a careful approach.
Thanks to all the content of this postgraduate diploma, the student will have access to a comprehensive and advanced training. As a result, they will be first class professionals, capable of working in a primary care practice or an educational center.

Postgraduate Diploma in Personality Disorders and other Psychological Problems in Childhood and Adolescence
If there is a real challenge in the study of the human psyche and its emotional stages, it is the understanding of the infantile and juvenile mind. It is in these life cycles that the personality is being molded, so the susceptibility to external stimuli is much, much greater. An exhaustive training in these fields is needed to deal with the multiple mental affectations that take place in early ages. Motivated to contribute to this management, TECH Global University presents the Postgraduate Diploma in Personality Disorders and other Psychological Problems in Childhood and Adolescence: a purely virtual program that addresses through three modules, the most recurrent problems in the field of child and adolescent mental health, as well as the therapeutic approaches that should prevail for the proper management of these. With a teaching team skilled in the field of psychology, we provide you with the ideal curricular support so that you can add competencies to your career and broaden your horizons in supporting one of the most vulnerable sectors of the population.
Child and adolescent psychology: your priority
A good part of the traumas, phobias and emotional blocks that many individuals suffer in adulthood had their genesis in circumstances that developed during their childhood or puberty years. The primary issue lies in the fact that, in those periods of experiences, qualified personnel capable of generating a bond of trust that would allow the child to open up emotionally and express his or her concerns are not usually found. As a consequence, the individual grows up subordinated to repress his impressions in order to be able to adapt socially. The postgraduate course we offer you is an invaluable resource that seeks to change this paradigm. If the rough edges could be smoothed out at an early age, we would not have to worry about calamitous frictions at a later age. Alterations that affect personality development such as schizoid, antisocial, obsessive-compulsive disorders, among others, as well as abuse or conflictive parental relationships, are some of the topics you will see in our program. If you want to contribute to improving the quality of life of future generations, you have a great opportunity just a click away.
