The Master of Science in Health and Clinical Psychology (LM-51) aims to provide specialist knowledge of the theoretical and methodological contents of intervention and research in the psychological-clinical and dynamic field with the aim of training professional figures who will operate in different areas of psychological health.It aims to provide adequate training to continue the study and research activity in full autonomy or in any case with a high level of responsibility in individualizing learning objectives and strategies, thus laying the foundations for access to specialist training at the third level (specialization schools in Clinical Psychology, in Psychology of Health, in Psychological Assessment and Consultancy, in Neuropsychology and in Life Cycle Psychology, also qualifying for the exercise of psychotherapy; research doctorate after passing the competition test; master's degree and advanced courses). Likewise, it is constituted as a peculiar training course which favors a possible subsequent specialization in psychotherapy through the schools recognized by the Ministry (law n. 56/89).The graduate in Health and Clinical Psychology, will be able to enroll in the professional register A of Psychologists, qualified by the State Exam to practice the profession, and will be able to operate in complete professional autonomy by adopting clinical approaches, methods and techniques.The master's course in Health and Clinical Psychology adheres to the indications and guidelines proposed by Europsy, with regard to second level curricular suggestions (corresponding to the master's degree), concerning preparation of the student for independent professional practice as a psychologist, in which the Clinical and Health area constitutes a particular professional area, differentiated and distinct from the others (school or education; work and organizations). The Europsy scheme also suggests that the specialized knowledge and skills to be acquired, as well as the internship activities and the basic skills in research activities, come from specific training curricula. It should be noted that the assessment of activating a specific and different master's degree course in the clinical-health field is supported by the ever increasing increase in the number of students in Psychology directed towards the occupational dimensions, both clinical-curative and related to health and well-being.
