This PhD Program in Emotion Psychology (the study of affective processes such as emotions, mood, feelings and its relation to attention, memory, decision, reasoning, creativity) is innovative and unique in Europe and combines knowledge brought by Psychology and several other fields of Science to provide an updated solid theoretical and methodological background in the study of emotional processes. It meets the exponentially growing interest of the last couple of decades in Emotion after the findings that emotion is key to decision-making and that affective processes in the brain create an implicit layer of influence on the most varied aspects of human mental activity, behaviour, and creations. A strong branch of research is focusing on emotion regulation and positive emotions, forming a strong basis for applied interventions towards psychological well-being and health as well as the betterment of the workplace, education, and human developmental contexts.

PhD by research via Distance Learning is awarded after successfully completing a theoretical research specialization. This research is presented in the form of a doctoral thesis. The PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) is the only doctoral degree that can be achieved through distance learning. The main requirement for a PhD online through distance learning is to present and discuss a thesis of at least 100 pages for review and evaluation by an academic committee at Selinus University. A thesis project for this PhD should explore the fundamental themes of therapies, such as listening and intervening in psychological disorders from multiple perspectives. If necessary, support it using herbs, homeopathy and floral remedies. Through the study of different theories and research, the candidate learns how to realize multiple perspective interpretations and develop their own therapeutic approach. Natural psychotherapy is not based on "rapid psychiatric pharmacological correction" therapies of exclusive medical openness. Rather, it focuses on obtaining permanent results by integrating the patient's neurophysiological and mental processes at a natural healing rate. This program allows students to analyze a conflict, interpret the corresponding problem and offer the best possible solution.

On the other, it examines the historical and epistemological foundations of scientific knowledge and human thought, tracing their historical development from an intercultural perspective. MBHT trains researchers to conduct innovative analyses of human thought, behavior, and the brain, addressing both their biological and cultural foundations through advanced interdisciplinary methodologies. Graduates will be prepared to tackle complex scientific and societal challenges, contributing to advancements in fields such as mental health, intercultural understanding, and the ethics of technology.

PhD by research via Distance Learning is awarded after successfully completing a theoretical research specialization. This research is presented in the form of a doctoral thesis. The PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) is the only doctoral degree that can be achieved through distance learning. The main requirement for a PhD online through distance learning is to present and discuss a thesis of at least 100 pages for review and evaluation by an academic committee at Selinus University. Psychoanalysis aims to change a person's personality through the study of the unconscious mind. Psychoanalysis was founded in the early 1890s by the Austrian neurologist Sigmund Freud. Psychoanalysis promotes awareness of unconscious, maladaptive and habitually recurring patterns of emotion and behaviour, allowing previously unconscious aspects of the self to integrate and promote optimal functioning, healing and creative expression. Current psychoanalytic models are continuously improved and reviewed by analytical experience, clinical outcomes and ongoing research. The research thesis should explore one or more aspects of psychoanalysis.
