New Haven's Psychiatrist, Dr. Paulson, believes in getting to know his patients well before establishing a diagnosis and recommending treatment. He further appreciates the value of New Haven in terms of clarifying the core issues involved—it is a structured setting where professionals from various disciplines make useful observations. A biopsychosocial model often guides his prescribing. He prefers dealing with as many of the psychosocial issues as possible to clarify the diagnosis and be able to more effectively treat the biological aspects.
Dr. Paulson tends to be conservative when prescribing medications to troubled teen girls, using the lowest effective dose and the least number of medications to effectively treat the disorders present. It is New Haven's policy to consult with parents before making medication changes.
