Early in Knight's tenure, when, facing some turmoil with a younger patient population, he convened a conference of patients and staff to work out the philosophy and procedures of a therapeutic community. By 1948, Knight had brought with him what the scholar Lawrence J. Friedman has called "the creative core of Menninger's clinical psychology department and its research staff," including David Rapaport, Roy Schafer, and Merton Gill (who wrote

This combination of mathematical model and physical binding mean that anyone using the same datum will obtain the same location measurement for the same physical location. However, two different datums will usually yield different location measurements for the same physical location, which may appear to differ by as much as several hundred meters; this not because

A president of both the American Psychiatric Association and the American Psychoanalytic Foundation, Knight was an authority on borderline personality disorder , which he said referred to patients who were "quite sick but not frankly psychotic." Under his direction Austen Riggs began to receive more seriously ill patients and to explore ways to put into practice Knight's ideas that borderline patients needed
1121-452: Is known as a graticule . The origin/zero point of this system is located in the Gulf of Guinea about 625 km (390 mi) south of Tema , Ghana , a location often facetiously called Null Island . In order to use the theoretical definitions of latitude, longitude, and height to precisely measure actual locations on the physical earth, a geodetic datum must be used. A horizonal datum
1180-650: Is the exact distance along a parallel of latitude; getting the distance along the shortest route will be more work, but those two distances are always within 0.6 m of each other if the two points are one degree of longitude apart. Like any series of multiple-digit numbers, latitude-longitude pairs can be challenging to communicate and remember. Therefore, alternative schemes have been developed for encoding GCS coordinates into alphanumeric strings or words: These are not distinct coordinate systems, only alternative methods for expressing latitude and longitude measurements. Austen Riggs Center The Austen Riggs Center
1239-409: Is the simplest, oldest and most widely used of the various spatial reference systems that are in use, and forms the basis for most others. Although latitude and longitude form a coordinate tuple like a cartesian coordinate system , the geographic coordinate system is not cartesian because the measurements are angles and are not on a planar surface. A full GCS specification, such as those listed in

Both types of datum bind a mathematical model of the shape of the earth (usually a reference ellipsoid for a horizontal datum, and a more precise geoid for a vertical datum) to the earth. Traditionally, this binding was created by a network of control points , surveyed locations at which monuments are installed, and were only accurate for
1357-549: The American Psychological Association 's Division 39 (Psychoanalysis) is a member of the therapy staff at Austen Riggs. At a time of rapid decrease in psychotherapy —just 29 percent of office-based visits to psychiatrists involved psychotherapy in 2004–2005, down from 44 percent in 1996–1997 —the Austen Riggs Center organizes its treatment around intensive psychodynamic psychotherapy with a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist four times weekly. Riggs maintains
1416-741: The EPSG and ISO 19111 standards, also includes a choice of geodetic datum (including an Earth ellipsoid ), as different datums will yield different latitude and longitude values for the same location. The invention of a geographic coordinate system is generally credited to Eratosthenes of Cyrene , who composed his now-lost Geography at the Library of Alexandria in the 3rd century BC. A century later, Hipparchus of Nicaea improved on this system by determining latitude from stellar measurements rather than solar altitude and determining longitude by timings of lunar eclipses , rather than dead reckoning . In

1534-733: The "patient role." He credited his wife's work with teaching him the "curative as well as creative role of work," which he found to be prominent in the life of Martin Luther. Erikson also used his experience at Riggs to pursue the ideas he developed in his book Childhood and Society , which proposed a series of eight normative crises in every life, with potential at each stage for healthy growth and integration—and also pathologic development and mental illness. In 1967, after Knight's death, Dr. Otto Allen Will, Jr. , formerly of Chestnut Lodge , came to direct Austen Riggs and brought his understanding of early attachment problems and psychotic vulnerability to
1593-675: The 1930s said that patients were encouraged to be "a valuable member of a united team." Patients included socially prominent figures such as Ruth Wales du Pont , who spent three weeks at the institution in 1924. Riggs had what a colleague described as a "deep and almost Puritanic conviction that feeling must be kept under constant surveillance and control by doing." His hospital had an occupational therapy shop equipped for weaving, carpentry, painting, and other handicrafts, and rooms for games and recreation. Riggs also had what he called "10 commandments" of successful living. Though he denounced what he called Freud's "mental gymnastics," and criticized

In 1884, the United States hosted the International Meridian Conference , attended by representatives from twenty-five nations. Twenty-two of them agreed to adopt
2655-461: The location has moved, but because the reference system used to measure it has shifted. Because any spatial reference system or map projection is ultimately calculated from latitude and longitude, it is crucial that they clearly state the datum on which they are based. For example, a UTM coordinate based on WGS84 will be different than a UTM coordinate based on NAD27 for the same location. Converting coordinates from one datum to another requires
2714-579: The longitude of the Royal Observatory in Greenwich , England as the zero-reference line. The Dominican Republic voted against the motion, while France and Brazil abstained.
