Hours: Madrid: VS | Barcelona: VS | Valencia: VS | At Home Method: S | Online: flexible
Qualification: Master in Clinical Sexology and Couples Therapy issued by ISEP.
The Master's Degree in Clinical Sexology and Couples Therapy starts from a solid scientific and multidisciplinary training on the different aspects of sexual dysfunctions that affect the human being and couple relationships from a biopsychosocial perspective.
With about 50 editions in the different ISEP headquarters, it is a reference Master in the training of professionals in sexual and couples therapy, which is recognized by the Spanish Federation of Sexology Societies (FESS).
Currently sexual problems can have different etiologies. Biological aspects, such as a specific disease, or cultural and psychological factors can be responsible for sexual conflicts. Cultural diversity, lack of communication, negotiation and poor problem-solving skills are the most common causes of conflict in the couple. With the ISEP master you will have the possibility to delve into the variables involved in preventive aspects, as well as the diagnosis and intervention in sexual difficulties and the improvement of couple relationships.
The methodology is based on practical training, 100% taught by active professional experts, through dynamics (role playing and discussions of clinical cases), clinical sessions and practices in collaborating centers.
