1.1 KEY POINTS
We present this subject that aims to train students, making known the systemic relational model and providing tools for family and couple evaluation and intervention, and training in the competencies that, based on experience in training, we firmly believe, are the most appropriate and the most capable, in terms of knowledge and experience, and the ones that bring the student closer to the most suitable profile of family therapist
1.2 STRUCTURE
In the training sessions it is intended to replicate the conditions of a psychotherapy achieving a theoretical and practical training. Based, in addition, on the student's own experience in the training space.
Structured in two parts:
Theory.
From a broad and integrating view of the existing theoretical frameworks, the contents of the relational-systemic theory will be taught.
Practice.
Continuous exposure of the various clinical situations from which to observe and practice with the techniques learned in the theoretical space.
