Austen Riggs Center with Jane Tillman, PhD, ABPP

To donate to my PayPal (thank you): https://paypal.me/danieru22?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US VIDEO NOTES In this interview, I speak with Jane Tillman, PhD, ABPP, about her work at the Austen Riggs Center. The Austen Riggs Center is an internationally renowned therapeutic community, open psychiatric hospital, and center for clinical education and research—a place that promotes personal resilience and self-direction in adults (18+) with complex psychiatric problems. I made a comment about Jung stopping therapy for anyone who joined a religious community. It would be more accurate to say: For some individuals, the structure of a church or religious community acts as a psychic container—a supportive framework for their inner experiences. If a patient found solace and growth within a religious context, Jung was content to conclude therapy. Returning to or joining a religious community could signify progress on their individuation journey. But Jung soon realized that for many, if not most, of his patients, this return to religion was no longer psychologically or spiritually possible, and that he would therefore need instead to aid them in creating a more meaningful life for themselves outside and beyond conventional religious systems.
