Content
The aim of this course is to bring students to a theoretical-clinical reflection focused on family functioning. The student should be able to construct a reflection based on the literature, theoretical concepts discussed in the course, and relational issues related to family work.
After a theoretical introduction, different themes will be addressed based on study cases: internalized and externalized behavioural disorders, couple difficulties, marital separation, drug use and trauma. These family themes will be developed through group presentations including recent scientific articles and a meeting with a clinical professional.
In addition to these lectures, 4 practical sessions will be given. The aim of these sessions is to support the transfer of theory to practice through role-playing on certain themes discussed during the course.
