In this master's degree in Contemporary Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, rigorous training is offered in the psychoanalytic psychotherapy model, but from an updated perspective. Empirical evidence supports the efficacy of psychoanalytic or psychodynamic therapy. Different studies show that the effect sizes of this psychotherapeutic intervention model are as large as those reported for other theoretical models of psychotherapy, which tend to be more actively promoted as “empirically supported” and “evidence-based” (Shedler, 2010). This master's degree in Contemporary Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy offers students the development of technical skills and abilities, which will allow them to carry out psychotherapeutic processes that rigorously and in-depth address the emotional and interpersonal difficulties of the people served.

The Gestalt approach to Child Psychotherapy is based on a human relationship of respect and closeness with the child, promoting the development of their potential. For this, and unlike traditional models of child psychotherapy, we believe that the integration of parents in the process is essential, it is not family therapy because the emphasis is still on the child. The Child Relational Psychotherapy model considers that the child, the parents, the environment form a whole, therefore the symptom is conceived as part of this totality and thus a large part of the child's conflicts are the result of unresolved family conflicts that also slow down the advancement of therapy. The infantile relational therapist promotes the development of new skills in parents and children that favor a good relationship.

Gestalt Psychotherapy has a humanistic approach that is characterized by favoring the growth of the potential of the person. We have a holistic vision, that is, we perceive the person as a complex whole, which is greater than the sum of its parts. Everything exists and acquires meaning within a specific context; nothing exists by itself, isolated. In addition to being deep therapy, Gestalt is essentially a way of living life with your feet firmly on the ground. It is a way of becoming fully, free and open in this world; accepting and taking responsibility for who we are, without using more resources than appreciating the obvious, what it is.
