A. Adler Institute

What A. Adler Institute does

A. Adler Institute is a privately held Italian S.a.s. headquartered in Torino, Italy, operating as a psychology, psychotherapy, and professional training organization under the Adlerian Individual Psychology framework. Founded in 1976 as Centro Studi di Psicologia Applicata 'G.P. Grandi' and restructured under the current name in 2000, the institute runs a Centro Clinico delivering psychotherapy, counselling, and psychological assessment for individuals, couples, families, children, and adolescents. Its service portfolio extends beyond clinical work into organizational training via the Per.Form division (corporate clients include Generali, Ferrero, Alfa Romeo, SanPaolo, Tupperware, Regione Liguria, and Regione Piemonte), school-based interventions, and a roster of specialized programs spanning ADHD support, Specific Learning Disorders (Spazio DSA), mindfulness, caregiver support, and elderly care (Agilmente, ResidenzialMente Attivi).

The institute operates from three regional offices in Torino, Cuneo, and Reggio Emilia, supplemented by an ecosystem of affiliated entities including the Scuola Adleriana di Psicoterapia (recognized by MURST since 1994), the Scuola di Counselling Professionale (founded 2008), and the Accademia del Test Proiettivo. Professional development offerings include ECM-accredited specialization courses in psychodiagnostics and child psychotherapy, priced in the €2,480-€4,980 range, alongside clinical supervision services. The group also runs spin-off centres Sestante (2005, developmental age), Aretè (2008, child psychotherapy), and Artemide (2009, maternity support), each addressing a specific clinical vertical under the broader Adlerian umbrella.

Revenue is generated entirely through four professional services streams: per-session clinical billing (€25-€150 range depending on individual vs. group), multi-module professional training courses (€2,480-€4,980 per full program), negotiated corporate training contracts under Per.Form, and project-based school programs billed per class. The institute was recognized as a Member Group of the International Association of Individual Psychology in 1987. It is privately held with no external investors, funding rounds, or institutional ownership disclosed in the source data.
