The need to include a subject on Communiction and Psychology within the content of the Dentistry Degree is justified by the "element" with which dentists will constantly work in their practice: people. In order to provide a comprehensive and quality care it is necessary to keep in mind that the patient not only has a physical dysfunction but also is a person in need. If the functioning of the person is not known it cannot be reached the patient care on a truly human level.
This subjects aims not only helping to know how others are but also learn more about oneself, which constitutes the first and fundamental step to take care of others. Therefore, the main objective is to acquire basic but accurate knowledge on personal, social and cultural human being and to discover in Psychology an aid in the field of health and rehabilitation.
