Master in Evidence-Based and Recovery-Oriented Psychosocial Treatments in Community Psychiatry

The Second-Level Master in Evidence-Based and Recovery-Oriented Psychosocial Treatments in Community Psychiatry is offered by the University of Ferrara. The programme addresses neuroscience, psychopharmacology and person-centred models, with a focus on leadership, interdisciplinary work and innovative organisation in community psychiatry. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

The master lasts one year and is in a mixed format, online and in person in Ferrara. The cost is €3,500.

The aim is to train professionals able to apply evidence-based psychosocial treatments and to develop leadership skills in community mental health services. Career opportunities include director of rehabilitation centres, clinical psychologist, clinical researcher, rehabilitation technician and occupational therapist. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
