1 General information Objectives and Rationale The PhD programme in Clinical and Health Psychology aims to serve an area of the health profession and health research that in the last few decades has become consolidated in relation to other disciplines (such as psychiatry) and has defined a broad series of objectives, tools and methodologies of its own. The objective of the programme is to prepare students to carry out research in clinical and health psychology and to write a doctoral thesis. The general objectives are: To train researchers in clinical and health psychology towards a high-level qualification and a high standard of competence. To promote innovative lines of research that correspond to the particular characteristics of clinical and health psychology. The PhD programme in Clinical and Health Psychology and the Research Master#s Degree in Psychology Applied to Health Sciences (Specialisation in Clinical Psychology) specifically address training needs within research and higher education and, in parallel, the needs of professionals to perfect their skills. The PhD programme in Clinical and Health Psychology offers research training in clinical and health psychology in line with the research projects of the Department of Clinical and Health Psychology. Research Lines In this section you will find all the lines of research on this PhD programme and its thesis supervisors.

2 Psychobiological risk and vulnerability factors in schizophrenic and affective spectra: This line of research investigates different psychobiological markers of vulnerability in the schizophrenic and affective spectra. The team is currently beginning work on two new projects: The phenotypical delimitation of schizophrenic spectra v. autistic spectrum. The evaluation of emotional traumas as risk factors for vulnerability in schizophrenia. The final objective of these studies is the phenotypical delimitation of disorders in the psychotic spectrum, their early detection and ultimate prevention.
