unless you're wealthy, it does not make sense to trust your fate to this institution. it promotes itself as a last resort for desperate patients, but once you are there you quickly realize that you are the only one who can save you... and, yes, that's an important insight, but one you can and will come to in more appropriate settings. put another way, riggs exploits the desperation of patients and their parents, running through family resources without a thought to where people will be when the money runs out.

that said, i must disclose that the year i spent there was pivotal for me. it's an extremely expensive boarding school, but still, it's home to some wonderful people.

I was there forty years ago, given a series of incorrect diagnoses, and urged to stay for two and a half years.

When the insurance finally ran out, I was told I wouldn’t do well because that’s what their final incorrect diagnoses predicted.

Instead of failing miserably, I found a place to live within two days, worked several jobs at a time, finished college at night, went to graduate school at night and established a lucrative career.

All without any financial help from my family or the supposed acumen, emotional guidance, and wisdom from Austen Riggs' therapists.

I could have begun doing the same thing several years earlier after having been there for a couple of weeks.

It was, however, immensely more lucrative to have me stay.

Mediocrity is enshrined there. You only need to read some of the subpar scholarly works on their website.

The food was pretty good, however. It was possible to get custom made omlets most days. There was an old woman who survived the fire bombing of Hamburg, Germany during WWII who did a great job with the laundry. I had a room with a working fireplace and there was great hiking trails in the surrounding hills.

So I'll have to give it half a star.
