Philosophy of Care
Dr. Chafetz is committed to:
Maintaining the dignity and optimal autonomy of every patient, regardless of age or ability;
Communicating with the patient's physician, and constructively involving caring relatives or other authorized individuals; and
Using community resources in the process of fully serving his patients.
"Psychology is not just the study of weakness and damage. It is also the study of strengths and virtue.
Treatment is not just fixing what is broken; it is nurturing what is best within ourselves."
--Dr. Martin Seligman, Former President of the American Psychological Association
