D. Francisco Ramírez Acosta

I graduated as a psychologist from the Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca in 2007. However, during the last two years I enjoyed two mobility scholarships; I spent the fourth year of my degree at the UVA (Universiteit van Amsterdam), as part of the Erasmus programme, and the first semester of the fifth year at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, under an International Exchange programme.

During my academic training, and thanks to the mobility grants that I was able to enjoy, I was able to train in the main psychological models: Cognitive-Behavioural in Salamanca, Groups and Organisations in Amsterdam and Family-Systemic model in Chile. Once I finished my degree, I completed my training in psychology by doing a Master's degree in analytical psychology (Specialist in Clinical and Psychoanalytical Psychotherapy: the child and his/her family, 2010. Universidad Pontificia de Comillas) while at the same time combining it with my work as a Clinical Trials Coordinator. It was then, my first contact with Urology and Andrology: working as Clinical Trials Coordinator in the Urology services of the University Hospitals of Getafe and Príncipe de Asturias, Madrid, in 2009.

At that time, I also completed the Certificate of Pedagogical Aptitude that qualifies me as a teacher (Universidad Alfonso X El Sabio, 2009, Madrid).

In addition to numerous trainings (both face-to-face and distance/on-line), of different characteristics, as well as attending multiple congresses, I highlight, above all, the achievement of the Official Master in Family Intervention (University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 2015) as well as the Specialist in Group Psychotherapy [Training Institute of the Spanish Society for the development of the Group, Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy (SEGPA). International Association of Group Psychotherapy (IAGP)].

Currently, and since 2016, I am part of several training and supervision groups "among equals" both as an individual and group therapist. These groups are made up of health professionals from different disciplines (general practitioners, psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, etc.).
