Online Education

For the last 90 years, educating mental health professionals has been an important aspect of the Center’s mission. The Erikson Institute for Education and Research brings professionals at all levels of experience together for conferences, lectures, and workshops held at the Austen Riggs Center. Many of these presentations and discussions build on the Center’s intensive clinical work and some continue Erik Erikson’s effort to generate knowledge at the boundaries between psychodynamic thinking and other disciplines. For an updated listing of the continuing education programs located at Austen Riggs, go to the Calendar.

We are also pleased to offer online education programs designed for mental health professionals, including psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers, with no registration fee. These presentations are in the form of webcasts, papers, and audio podcasts.

The Y-Model for Teaching Psychotherapy Competencies - Eric Plakun, M.D., Director of Admissions and Professional Relations, Austen Riggs Center
Please register in order to access this presentation
Teaching psychiatry’s three current core psychotherapy competencies—CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy and Supportive Therapy—has been a challenge. Utilizing an approach to teaching psychotherapy that is based on existing comparative psychotherapy process research, the Y-model integrates the teaching of psychotherapy to trainees and compares and contrasts schools of therapy based on their underlying theoretical assumptions, with technique following from theory.
