In IAF we address the study of psychological problems in childhood and adolescence, as well as the influence of the family environment and intervention in the relationship between all of them, especially focused on the study of risk factors and salutogenic factors for disorders in childhood and adolescence, including the field of education and emotional regulation, and advances in intervention from contextual therapies and from ICTs.
