Learning unit contents
The course is structured around three complementary areas: clinical assessment, health prevention, and specialized psychological interventions. (1) Clinical Assessment Methods This section of the course focuses on the main assessment methods used in clinical psychology and health psychology. Particular attention is paid to:
- clinical interviewing techniques adapted to different care settings and clinical contexts;
- methods of functional behavioral analysis, including the SORC model and Cungi's vicious circle model;
- the appropriate use of validated questionnaires and psychometric assessment tools.
- within psychological and clinical support programs for patients with chronic illnesses, including oncology, cardiology, and renal disease requiring dialysis;
- in interventions aimed at reducing or modifying behavioral and psychosocial risk factors, such as smoking, stress, and difficulties with treatment adherence.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The primary objective of this course is to introduce students to the clinical approach in health psychology through the study and application of cognitive-behavioral techniques and intervention methods.
The course aims to provide students with the theoretical and methodological foundations necessary for understanding assessment, prevention, and support practices in the field of health.
