Teaching Methods
The syllabus will be addressed in theoretical and theoretical/practical classes. The teaching methodologies are expositive, interrogative and active (e.g. research, communication and discussion, design of an intervention plan).
The continuous evaluation system implies two components:
a) Individual exercises throughout the semester: rational proposal; 3 conceptualizations and intervention plans (60% of the final grade)
b) A group work about strategic technical cognitive behavioural interventions with a written support to be presented to the (40% of the final grade).
The final evaluation system implies a written test (100% of the final grade) with two parts, a case formulation and a part focused in strategic and technical cognitive behavioural interventions.
