Master's Degree in Systemic Family Therapy
The Master's Degree in Systemic Family Therapy is a program aimed at understanding the human being as part of a system of relationships, in constant interaction and evolution. When intervening in any problem with children and adults, it is essential to have a broad vision that takes into account the mutual influence between the individual and the different systems of which he or she is a part or that intervene in the problem: the current partner or family, the family of origin and extended family, the educational or work context, the health context, social services, etc.
what does this master's degree consist of?
This master's degree has a clear professional orientation that enables students to work in different intervention contexts (health, education, social, etc.) attending to individuals and/or their families from a broad and global understanding.
Professionalising and designed to work in different contexts of intervention.
Graduates in Psychology who wish to practice psychology in the health or clinical field must take the Professionalising Master's Degree in General Health Psychology (MPGS) or specialise through the pathway of Specialist Psychologist in Clinical Psychology (PIR), as a result of the regulation of the profession of General Health Psychologist. Both options offer a complete and broad training in general issues of the profession of clinical or health psychologist, however, many students also seek a more specific and in-depth preparation in systemic interventions.

My training in family therapy has allowed me to accompany families who have a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder and at the same time to help the child.

I would recommend this postgraduate course if you conceive psychology as something that is not merely personal, but integrates the relational and emotional level, as well as the different contexts in which each individual is immersed. I find it interesting not only from a purely clinical point of view, but also for those who want to work in social psychology.

It is a master's degree that provides training from a systemic approach in a very practical way. The internships are carried out in different centres carrying out co-therapy, together with a team and a supervisor, which I found very enriching, as you learn from different professionals from a systemic approach.
