Treating Obesity With Personalized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
ByRiccardo Dalle GraveMassimiliano Sartirana
Written by leading experts in the field
Provides both theory and clinical experience
Illustrates how the new treatment programme develops a mind-set that promotes both weight loss and weight-loss maintenance
Explains how the treatment can be delivered within a stepped-care approach that can be applied, with appropriate adaptation, at three levels of care (outpatient, day-hospital and residential)
This book describes a novel therapy for obesity that associates the traditional procedures of weight-loss lifestyle modification with specific, individualized cognitive behavioral procedures to address some obstacles that have been indicated by recent research to influence weight loss and maintenance.
The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Obesity (CBT-OB) can be used to treat all classes of obesity, including patients with severe comorbidities and disability associated with obesity, who are not usually included in traditional weight-loss lifestyle modification treatments.
