Hi, there

#Introduction

I'm working as a #Psychologist since 1984, first as a #ClinicalPsychologist and therapist.. In 2004 I started studying and practicing #crisis & #DisasterManagement. In 2010 I founded #UTCCB, a #trauma, crisis & #conflict Center at @UABBarcelona.

Mainly, I' m interested in #CrisisPrevention & #Mitigation.
