Main themes
The aim of the course is first to familiarize students with physical, psychological, family, and social characteristics of the child facing to a somatic disease. Factors implicated in the evolution (from the beginning to the end-of-life) and the management (such as the adherence to treatment) of health problems in paediatrics are addressed. Moreover, the integration of the disease in the daily life is discussed taking into account the specificities of the patient and his/her family. These questions are addressed for the most frequent problematics in paediatric psychology, such as asthma, diabetes or cancer.
The second aim of the course is help students determine the most adequate psychological assessment and intervention for each medical disorder and enable them to apply and adapt them to the specificities of the patient and the context.
Finally, paediatric psychology is approached from an interdisciplinary perspective, with reference to different theoretical frameworks.

At the end of the course, the student will be able to adequately analyse a situation in paediatric psychology with reference to available theories and empirical evidence (B1). On this basis, the student will be able to identify relevant psychological interventions that take into account the specificities of the patient and of the context (B2), to distinguish between scientifically based interventions and common-sense interventions (E2), to explain the methodology used for planning, implementing and evaluating the intervention. The student will also be capable to communicate in a clear, relevant and straightforward way the result of his/her observations, analysis and intervention (C1-C2) to different persons such as the child, the parents or health care professionals.
