This column reviews the history of the Austen Riggs Center on the occasion of its centennial. Riggs has come to stand for high quality, state of the art, biopsychosocial, psychodynamic treatment in contemporary psychiatry and psychoanalysis. This column reviews elements of the positioning of Riggs in the field, and contributions that have emerged from Riggs that continue to have an impact on psychiatry, psychoanalysis, and their intersection-psychodynamic psychiatry.
