Postgraduate certificate Suicidal Behavior as an Epiphenomenon from the Psychology Perspective

Suicidal Behavior has traditionally been understood as the result of complex Mental Disorders such as depression. However, recent research by the scientific community reflects that this problem can be better understood as an Epiphenomenon: it constitutes a secondary manifestation of underlying psychological processes that are not necessarily pathological in themselves. Therefore, self-injurious ideation is considered to be a complex response to cognitive, emotional and contextual factors, rather than a direct symptom of a condition. Given this, specialists need to have a solid understanding of the psychological mechanisms that, in interaction with sociocultural factors, can trigger these destructive behaviors. For this reason, TECH is launching an innovative university program 100% focused on this health area.
