Courses & Programs
The Alamo Training courses support clinicians in increasing their competencies and deepening their work. We offer an innovative training program that is grounded in contemporary psychoanalytic theory, incorporating somatic and neurobiologically-informed perspectives, and drawing inspiration from the broader humanities—especially poetry and music. Our courses are for all clinicians, ranging from practicing psychoanalysts to psychologists who are just beginning to explore psychoanalytic concepts.
