Doctor PhD Degree Psychosomatic Therapy

The Doctor Ph.D. Degree in Psychosomatic Therapy at Bircham International University explores new definitions of health and illness within psychosomatic medicine. Students study emotional approaches and how they influence health, focusing on the reciprocal relationship between psychosomatic interpretations of physical symptoms and emotional disorders in mental, emotional, and physical health. From this psychosomatic point of view, the individual is responsible for their own health.

The program is delivered online via distance learning for adults and professionals. It uses a structure of 70% textbooks and 30% thesis, with 45 to 72 academic credits above a Master’s program. The composition includes 39 academic credits in Psychosomatic Therapy Online and other additional subjects, plus 18 academic credits for research methodology and a final project or thesis.
