Aim, qualifications, teaching staff and approach

Everything you need to know about the master's: who it is for, which qualifications it offers and who teaches it.

Aim

The aim of this theoretical and practical training is to prepare future family therapists for their profession from a comprehensive care perspective based on systemic relational therapy. By the end, students have a global and complete view of the patient and how to approach them, can formulate relational hypotheses and work confidently in therapy.

The main pillars of the training are theoretical and practical epistemological integration and the development of the therapist as a person.

Approach

Epistemology

We understand the systemic orientation not as just another school of thought, but as a way of looking that brings complexity to what is observed: a metatheory that takes several levels of reality into account at once.

With General Systems Theory as our foundation, we integrate other epistemologies such as attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, polyvagal theory, ethology and aspects of psychodynamic theory. Students come into contact with the most important schools and the most advanced methods through guest lecturers.
