The Couples and Family Research Group (GRPF) is made up of researchers with a long personal history of research on couples and family issues, both in the area of clinical psychology and social psychology as well as psychiatry and education, which results in an interdisciplinary group.
The focus of attention is on the emotional and communicative aspects of the family, considering it as the first maturing and educational space for its members. In addition, it addresses the difficulties of the family group by developing preventive and therapeutic intervention models.
