Introduction to the Program

Profundizarás en las diferentes técnicas para identificar comportamientos alimentarios y emocionales anómalos a través de este disruptivo programa de estudios”  

En las últimas décadas, los Trastornos de la Conducta Alimentaria (TCA) se han definido como una de las afecciones sanitarias de mayor incidencia en la población mundial y, sobre todo, entre los jóvenes. Ante ese contexto, muchos proyectos científicos se han afanado en definir cuáles son sus potenciales causas. De ese modo, han aparecido avanzados estudios en relación a las predisposiciones genéticas que pueden ocasionar algunos de ellos. A su vez, los expertos han innovado en el análisis de otros malestares como el Estrés Crónico y su vínculo con los TCA, involucrando disruptivos métodos de medición de biomarcadores y evaluación del cortisol en los individuos.

A pesar de esos adelantos, la inclusión de esos nuevos métodos todavía es insuficiente debido a la baja capacitación de profesionales de la Psicología en cuanto a ellos. Por eso, TECH ha implementado esta Postgraduate diploma con el cual los alumnos conseguirán estar al día acerca de las principales tendencias en el Diagnóstico De Trastornos de la Conducta Alimentaria. El plan de estudios abarca patologías del estado de ánimo, enfatizando la comorbilidad de Trastornos Bipolares. Asimismo, se analizan numerosas dinámicas familiares disfuncionales y su relación con el desarrollo de los TCA. El temario también aborda los criterios del DSM-5, para que el alumnado obtengan habilidades requeridas para la determinación de dichos trastornos. De este modo, los egresados ahondan en múltiples estrategias orientadas a seguir mejorando la vida de los pacientes.

Además, el itinerario académico se imparte a través del revolucionario sistema de enseñanza Relearning. TECH es pionero en esta metodología que fomenta la repetición natural y continua de aspectos claves del temario, evitando memorizaciones innecesarias. A su vez, esta titulación universitaria es accesible en cualquier lugar o momento, durante las 24 horas del día. Para ello solo se requiere de un dispositivo con conexión a Internet que permite al estudiante revisar los materiales y diferentes recursos en formato multimedia.
