The Academy for the Study of the Psychoanalytic Arts The Academy views psychoanalysis as a creative, highly individualized, and mutually collaborative venture into communication for the purpose of discovering and understanding the personal meaning(s) in the lived experiences of everyday life, including the complex experiences of "the more severe pathologies," e.g., schizophrenia and the psychoses. The Academy's project of rethinking psychoanalysis within a psychological--rather than medical--framework views psychoanalysis as the treatment of choice for those people who are so categorized and pathologized. Further, this project involves resituating our conceptual foundations in philosophy, the arts, and the anthropic sciences as opposed to biology, medicine, and the natural sciences. Austen Riggs Center The Austen Riggs Center is a private, non-profit, fully open psychiatric hospital and continuum of care in Stockbridge, Massachusetts . Listed as one of US News and World Report's Outstanding Hospitals and affiliated with Harvard Medical School , the Center is known for its provision of four-times-weekly intensive psychotherapy, milieu and group treatment, family work, and an unusually creative activities program. Patients are admitted for an initial 4-6 week period of intensive evaluation and treatment, but total treatment averages 6 months. Patients are followed by the same therapist and treatment team throughout the continuum of care. For information contact admissions at 1-800-51-RIGGS, extension 243. Center for Self Development, P.C. The Center for Self Development, P.C. offers psychological services, including psychotherapy and assessment, to adults, children and adolescents presenting with a wide variety of problems. We are highly confident in the healing potentials of psychotherapy for all levels of disturbance. Our predominant orientation is psychodynamic. We are located in southern New Hampshire, close to the Massachusetts border. We accept a variety of insurance plans, Medicare and NH Medicaid and see self-pay patients on a sliding-fee scale. The Columbia Academy of Psychodynamics The Columbia Academy of Psychodynamics provides a place to discuss psychodynamic issues. We have held monthly meetings since September 16, 2001 . Since September of 2003 the Sheppard Pratt Health System has co-sponsored our lecture series. Our monthly meetings often focus on severe mental illnesses. CAPsy currently also hosts two seminars, one on child and adolescent psychotherapy, and the other on treating psychosis. We hope that ISPS-US members from the Washington, Baltimore and surrounding areas will attend these monthly meetings. We house what was the Chestnut Lodge library, in a townhouse also serving as supervised living for three patients being cared for at Humanim, where our monthly meetings are held. Elpida House, Inc. Full Spectrum Progressive Mental Health Full Spectrum is an innovative, not-for-profit mental health center in San Francisco. The Center offers both the full range of standard psychotherapy services and day programs for adults and adolescents. The day programs integrate psychology, body-oriented therapy, art and play therapy into an effective, interdisciplinary support system. Full Spectrum helps people in crisis avoid hospitalization. They believe in addressing the whole person, mind and body; in helping people heal, not just cope; in identifying causes and solutions rather than simply managing "symptoms." The Center also seeks alternatives to medications and offers medication reduction services. Gould Farm Gould Farm is a psychiatric psychosocial therapeutic community and farm that has been in operation for 93 years. We are unique in our format. We are a clinically informed work and community program. This strengths-based model integrates clinical supports with the daily structure of work and community life. Counseling, a balanced work program and the development of vocational, educational and social skills are primary program components. Guests, staff and volunteers work side-by-side to develop treatment plans, set goals and discover ways to successfully realize them. Through participation in community life, meaningful work, guests gain insight about themselves and their illness. Each step of our program is positioned to enable our guest to move toward increased independence and autonomy within an ongoing sense of connection and mutuality. Hanbleceya The Menninger Clinic Menninger is a national specialty psychiatric and behavioral hospital, offering diagnostic and treatment programs for adolescents and adults. The Menninger Clinic has moved to Houston as of June 2003. Natural Psychotherapy International Natural Psychotherapy, developed by New York psychologist Eric Riss, Ph.D. is a mind-freeing therapy for self-understanding and self-empowerment. It is a thoroughly holistic, drug-free, alternative therapy for all types of psychological stresses and difficulties – from the most common and mildest, to the most unusual and severe. Natural psychotherapy does not use psychiatry’s dehumanizing theories or practices: it does not resort to damaging labeling of people, endless medicating, or any of the other risky psychiatric “treatments.” In natural therapy one learns how to resolve the so-called “mental illnesses” as well as many of life’s problems and crises in effective, positive and realistic ways.
