La salud mental juega un papel crucial en la vida de los ciudadanos, dado que les permite tener una vida plena. Sin embargo, una gran parte de la población pasa por alto la atención médica y opta por sufrir en soledad trastornos vinculados con la Conducta Alimentaria. Un ejemplo de ello lo constituye la Ciclotimia. En consecuencia, estos ciudadanos padecen síntomas depresivos como la tristeza profunda, llegando a pensar que su existencia no tiene sentido alguno. En este contexto, los psicólogos tienen la responsabilidad de dialogar con sus pacientes para identificar estas patologías y abordarlas mediante los tratamientos más oportunos.
En sintonía con esto, TECH ha diseñado esta Postgraduate diploma que permitirá a los egresados abordar todas las complejidades que subyacen en torno a los TCA. Bajo el respaldo de docentes especializados en esta materia, los alumnos disponen de un plan de estudios que les brinda un enfoque altamente transdiagnóstico. El temario aborda a fondo interacciones entre estas patologías y otros trastornos como el del espectro obsesivo-compulsivo o el abuso de sustancias. Así pues, los egresados pueden adquirir conocimientos específicos sobre estas comorbilidades y cómo intervenirlas. También, la capacitación hace hincapié en la prevalencia en diferentes grupos de edad, así como en los impactos sociales y psicológicos que desencadenan los TCA.
Asimismo, el programa se desarrolla a partir de la implementación del revolucionario método de enseñanza del Relearning. Este sistema, del que TECH es pionero, consiste en la repetición de contenidos claves para garantizar un aprendizaje progresivo y natural. Por eso, los estudiantes no tienen que preocuparse por memorizar en ningún momento y las competencias se asimilan de un modo flexible y gradual. Además, para afianzar el conocimiento, la titulación universitaria cuenta con una biblioteca atestada de recursos audiovisuales. Entre ellos, figuran vídeos explicativos, resúmenes interactivos, infografías, etc. Por otro lado, se incluyen casos de estudio y lecturas complementarias, que facilitan el desarrollo del itinerario académico.
