Colaboración interdisciplinar entre la Psicología y Ciencias de la salud entre 1976 y 2019 a través de las tesis doctorales

The aim of the study was to analyse the interdisciplinary collaboration between Psychology with other Health Sciences, based on the analysis of the direction and composition of the tribunals of the theses defended between 1976 and 2019 in Spain. A total of 644 theses from six Spanish universities were analysed using the TESEO database. The results show an increase in the number of theses in interdisciplinary collaboration from 2010 onwards, mainly at the Universitat de Barcelona and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. According to the descriptors of the theses, there is a high relationship between Clinical Psychology and Psychiatry. It can be concluded that the approval of the General Health Law in 1986, the recognition of the title of specialist in clinical psychology and the creation of different research institutes have contributed to the increase in interdisciplinary collaboration, mainly between Clinical psychology and Psychiatry.
