He also participates in clinical trials in the area of cognitive impairment and dementia. In turn, he has been combining this care work with other occupations of various kinds in research, both in dementia and neurodevelopmental disorders, from which derive most of the publications, some of them of very high impact; performs university teaching, both undergraduate and postgraduate, where he has also directed more than 300 TFG and TFM, and is a regular member of courts and has co-directed 2 doctoral theses.
He has participated in the validation of clinical measurement instruments such as the NEPSY, the WISC, etc., as well as in numerous congresses, courses, conferences, etc. He has been accredited by the General Council of Psychology as an Expert Psychologist in Neuropsychology, also belonging to several technical-professional associations, some of them within its board of directors, as is the case of the Spanish Society of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, of which he is currently a member.

He is currently an associate professor at the UPV/EHU, as well as a collaborating professor at the UOC and the UEM, and has been accredited as an adjunct professor by UNIBASQ.
CLINICAL SYMPTOMATOLOGY FROM THE GENDER PERSPECTIVE.
As we have been observing in recent years, through various empirical studies, taking gender perspective into account in the assessment of psychological disorders is crucial. Women, or rather the differential way they process information and respond, have historically been underestimated, and the prevalence of many psychological disorders that we currently treat in clinical settings still reflects this phenomenon. This phenomenon is important, but even more so when we address neurodevelopmental disorders, where historically diagnostic criteria have been based on very masculine profiles, so that the subtle differences conferred by the female gender to the profile have been habitually undervalued. Proof of this is found in current research lines where, specifically and intensively, attempts are made to measure variables related to gender.
With the aim of advancing in this obstacle posed by having criteria based on predominantly male symptomatology, it is important not only to understand how this unequal gender criterion affects, but also how to apply it to the assessment of different disorders, especially those of neurodevelopment, which occupy a very large percentage of our consultations. Thus, this symposium aims to address the gender perspective in the two most prevalent developmental disorders (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder), not without first conducting a preliminary analysis of the state of the art, while also aiming to finally analyze a variable that is not insignificant in psychological disorders, such as attachment.
