In this enlightening discussion, Chuck Ruby, PhD, a psychologist with over 25 years of experience, takes a critical look at mental illness perceptions. He questions the efficacy of psychiatric medications and the pitfalls of the medical model. The conversation navigates the importance of informed consent in mental health, emphasizing transparency in diagnoses. Ruby also contrasts traditional views with evolving anti-psychiatry perspectives, advocating for an understanding of emotional distress beyond labels, challenging the stigma associated with mental health.

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.

Warfighter ADVANCE offers relief and clarity to warfighters. Instead of prescribing powerful medications that often compound or mask the underlying problem, Warfighter ADVANCE teaches new coping skills and equips warfighters for recovery and successful reintegration. The ADVANCE is, at it’s core, a 7-day program that uses a variety of means to change the trajectory of the Warfighter’s (active duty or veteran) post-deployment life, so that rather than an existence characterized by an endless cycle of mental illness diagnoses, medications, medical appointments and disappointments, the Warfighter has a life characterized by pride, productivity, healthy relationships, continued service, and advocacy for the same outcomes for their fellow service members.
