California
Training at the Existential-Humanistic Institute
Located in San Francisco, this institute offers occasional training in existential theory. Many of the most important figures in existential psychology continue to be affiliated with this institute.
International Institute for Humanistic Studies(IIHS)
IIHS offers some short and more intensive training programs in existential-humanistic therapy. The intensive programs are offered a couple of weekends a year over a couple year period. For more intensive training external to graduate programs, this is, in my view, the premiere training in existential therapy.
