Teaching Methods
The course will consist of theoretical classes, which will be mainly based on lectures to encourage active participation and the development of critical thinking, using clinical case studies to link theory with practice.
Practical classes will focus on presenting articles about each author's theory.
We will also have open classes with invited experts to provide more direct contact with contemporary theoretical and practical developments.
Finally, students will be expected to do independent work including research and preparation of presentations for the classes.
