Psychiatric Residential Treatment in an Open Therapeutic Community
About us
The Austen Riggs Center is known for its internationally-recognized tradition of providing intensive psychodynamic psychotherapy in a voluntary, open, and non-coercive community. Patients not helped in other settings can often benefit from deeper, more thorough psychodynamic evaluation and treatment. For over 100 years, the Riggs has offered long-term residential and hospital-level psychiatric treatment based on intensive, four-times-weekly individual psychotherapy, provided by psychiatrists. From hospital to residential to supervised and unsupervised apartment living, Riggs provides continuity of care with the same interdisciplinary team throughout a patient's stay. Treating an average of 60 patients, Riggs remains one of the few psychiatric treatment centers in the United States committed to the intensive work necessary to help patients take charge of their lives. Erikson Institute for Education and Research Erik H. Erikson, renowned humanist psychoanalyst and former Riggs staff member, recognized that individuals could not be understood apart from their psychosocial and historical contexts. Riggs' Erikson Institute develops this connection by promoting education and research in psychodynamic thought and treatment and by applying the clinical learning to the problems of the larger society. The Erikson Institute aims to bring the work of Riggs into dialogue with other mental health professionals, human service institutions, and scholars from a range of disciplines. The Erikson Institute includes: A Research Department and internships A Fellowship program in psychiatry and clinical psychology The Erikson Scholar program Lectures and workshops for mental health professionals An organizational consultation service, especially for human service institutions

"Evidence continues to mount for the benefit of looking beyond diagnosis and symptoms in psychotherapeutic treatment. First Caspi discovered that only one transdiagnostic 'psychopathology factor' underlies disorders, and then Jeppesen, among others, noted that trans-symptomatic treatments not directly targeting symptoms work as well as those that do [see this CE/CME course - https://lnkd.in/ehM3SGd3]. Now this 147-study meta-analysis from European investigators suggests that the same is true for suicide. Therapies seem to work equally well in reducing the risk of suicide whether they do or do not target suicide directly. It is this kind of transdiagnostic, trans-symptomatic perspective that underlies the development of our Alliance Based Intervention for Suicide [ABIS]. Rather than being a stand-alone symptom focused therapy, ABIS is a way to help psychodynamic therapists establish and maintain an alliance with suicidal patients [see this CE/CME course - https://lnkd.in/ezAVJKQy]. It is interesting to hold in mind that the very first transdiagnostic, trans-symptomatic therapy was psychoanalysis. Back to the future!" ~ Eric Plakun https://lnkd.in/eNee5RB7
Psychotherapies That Address Suicidality Directly or Indirectly Are Comparably Effective
