"Congratulations to NPR and ProPublica for this story highlighting how insurance companies find ways to deprive patients of medically necessary care through insurance companies’ flawed view that treatment of mental disorders should be limited to crisis stabilization rather than pursuit of real recovery and the capacity to live a self-directed life." ~ Eric Plakun

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

"Rajesh Mehta and colleagues offer a useful summary of the epidemic of loneliness in the US, drawing on evocative case vignettes that highlight the important contexts of identity, social relationships, development, and adversity, including immigration/geographic displacement. Each of these themes will be addressed in our upcoming roundtable on loneliness and mental health in midlife, where the impact of the developmental challenges in midlife on emotional health and feelings of connection with others will be explored." ~ Katie Lewis, PhD

This past fall, two International Social Work Solutions Inc. volunteers, Riggs Director of Clinical Social Work Cathleen Morey, PhD, LICSW, and Breeanna Bellinger, LMSW, joined forces to explore possible projects they could work on together. After research, consultation, and ISWS approval, they identified ritual servitude, forced labor, and sex trafficking in Ghana as a focal point. https://lnkd.in/grMqQ-4z

Emerging adults are reporting surging rates of loneliness and isolation, leaving many developmentally adrift and vulnerable to accumulating mental health troubles. This panel will consider how social turmoil, mistrust, pessimism, and polarization uniquely challenge young adults’ identity development, agency, and sense of belonging. Additionally, we will explore forms of engagement that encourage their social participation and harness their essential contributions to the world they are joining and helping. Join Spencer Biel, Michael Roth, and Jillian M. Stile. https://lnkd.in/ekP2xhji
