Master in Family Therapy

The Blanquerna (URL) School of Psychology, Education and Sport Sciences specialized in postgraduate training and through the expertise of the School of Family Therapy of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau and the Vidal i Barraquer-URL IUSM in couple and family therapy postgraduate training, have joined forces in order to offer training for future family therapists broadly recognized both in Spain and internationally by entities such as the Spanish Federation of Psychotherapists Associations (FEAP), the Spanish Federation of Family Therapy Associations (FEATF), the European Family Therapy Association (EFTA) and the Internacional Association of Couple and Family Psychoanalysis (IACFP). Thus, this master's degree is highly practical and applied.

The synergy between the three institutions presenting this postgraduate training comes naturally through the cooperation between their faculty, who have seen the need and the opportunity to undertake more intense collaborative work adapted to current needs, particularly in terms of the design and structure of university training according to the training proposal of the Bologna Process (European Higher Education Area). Thus, an innovative, up-to-date and open program has been adapted into training that also features other guidance within the field of psychology, contents that have been contrasted throughout years of training family psychotherapists.

For Graduates in Psychology or Medicine and Surgery, having a postgraduate or master's degree that includes training in psychotherapy, with theoretical and practical content of a minimum duration of one year, is valued. It will be assessed individually on the basis of the education and personal and professional background of graduates, diploma holders or university graduates linked to other university degrees; in turn, they will be informed and guided about the necessary requirements to be accredited as psychotherapists by the FEAP (Spanish Federation of Psychotherapy Associations) and as family therapists by the FEATF (Spanish Federation of Family Therapy Associations).

Internships are conducted at two leading and trailblazing centers in intervention and family therapy: the Family Therapy Unit at the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, and the University Institute of Mental Health at the Vidal i Barraquer Foundation (FViB). There are a total of 700 internship hours (350 internships hours in couple and family psychotherapy, from the systemic model, and 350 internship hours in couple and family psychotherapy, from the psychodynamic model).

The team at the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau has upwards of forty years of experience and is a trailblazing unit in the systemic model in Barcelona, and in Europe in general, offering care for couples and families with multiple problems in a public hospital.

The FViB couple and family unit is now fifty years old. The team is an international benchmark in intervention in families and couples from the psychodynamic model.

It blends the experiences in the two centers, enabling the student to develop as well as integrate the various strategies they will learn with the two teams. Thus, the master's degree will foster good growth and professional development in the field of couple and family psychotherapy.

• Carrying out internships in two of the three training institutions of the master's degree, guaranteeing 700 practical hours of family therapy.
