Students who enter this course should have already passed the examination of clinical psychology. Students should therefore be able to identify and distinguish a psychological disorder (good knowledge of the DSM-IV-TR and the principles of differential diagnosis are prerequisites).

The course is ment to be a bridge between the theory learned in previous years and the professional practice, for that reason will discuss clinical cases and the methodology of intervention. The course, lasting 60 hours, is divided into two parts. In the first part of the course we discuss the characteristics of a psychopharmacological treatment and the possibility of integrating psychopharmacological and psychological intervention.
