Module General psychology

The Course aims to provide students with the conceptual, methodological, and reflective tools necessary to understand the historical, cultural, psychological, ethical, and relational dimensions of medicine, fostering the development of a critical and integrated perspective on clinical practice.

The course seeks to promote awareness of the physician’s role within the social and institutional context, enhancing communication, decision-making, and ethical competencies, as well as the ability to establish a person-centred therapeutic relationship grounded in the principles of autonomy, responsibility, and professionalism.
