OTHER PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES
Infrequently, a patient's distress remains or becomes so high that
hospitalization or the use of medication must be considered. Psychologists and
Social Workers are not physicians, and consequently do not prescribe medication;
however, at times psychologists and social workers may treat patients in
hospitals. In cases where medications or hospitalization may be required, this
will be discussed in advance with the patient and, if necessary, with other
responsible individuals. We work with several psychiatrists, and we often
collaborate on issues of medication, hospitalization and second opinion; in this
way the patient who has these needs is better served.
