Introduction
Eating Disorders (TCA) have a multifactorial origin (genetic, psychological, sociocultural factors). In Spain, the latest studies coincide in indicating a prevalence rate of eating disorders in the adolescent population of around 4-4.5%. Although its degree of incidence and prevalence is increasing in both women and men, at different stages of life. The prevailing beauty models and social pressure regarding image are precipitating factors, but there are others that are predisposing.
The Master in Eating Disorders responds to the need to train specialized professionals in this field and with a multidisciplinary approach. These are disorders that due to their severity and complexity require specific training, so the objective is to provide students with the technical and personal skills necessary for the evaluation, diagnosis, intervention and prevention of these disorders, mainly from a perspective cognitive-behavioral, to carry out an effective and responsible intervention.
This Master provides complete and comprehensive training in all aspects that affect clinical practice. Likewise, it has an eminently practical orientation, through the presentation of clinical cases and role-playing.
