Approach to Patient Care
Dr. Stolar believes that although medication is helpful, and sometimes necessary, in alleviating psychiatric symptoms, psychotherapy is a very important treatment component that can help minimize the use of medication. When medication is used, he emphasizes minimization of side effects as much as is feasible. He also emphasizes the need for proper sleep, diet, exercise, caffeine-limitation and relaxation methods as important adjuncts to medication and psychotherapy in the treatment of psychiatric conditions.
Additional Procedures
Dr. Stolar treats patients using an integrative approach that includes psychodynamic, cognitive, behavioral, experiential and pharmacological approaches. He also treats schizophrenia and other psychoses using Cognitive Therapy. -
