PSICOPERSONA: Psychology, Person and Context Research Group

The group focuses its work on understanding the person in all its dimensions (biological, psychological, social, spiritual). The group also focuses on the deepening of professional approaches that facilitate the processes of change, especially psychotherapy, with a specific emphasis on integrating perspectives and the inclusion of the entire person, giving importance to relational dimensions (therapeutic alliance, therapist style), and also emotional dimensions. It is also in the interests of applying this knowledge to specific situations in which the emotional links (loss, grief processes, adoptions) or motivation (additions to substances and behaviors, especially possible technological addictions in the networked society) are involved.

The goal is to provide a greater awareness of the person, a greater self-awareness of their potential and talent (emotional and social skills). Let us build on the potential of positive psychology and 'mindfulness'. It is also in the interests of understanding in depth the creation of knowledge about the person, both from an epistemological, ontological and methodological perspective, as well as the contexts that facilitate comprehensive training of people (e.g. in higher education).
