Therapeutic Groups for Obese Women: A Group Leader's Handbook

This book provides a practical, comprehensive guide to the group treatment of obesity. It is derived from a 5 year research project and draws upon elements of CBT and a variety of other counselling theories and styles. It will be divided into two parts. Part one provides a description of the context of research from which the programme has evolved. This section also provides a description of how to use the workbook and includes practical tips for professionals conducting sessions. Part two presents, session by session, a 36-week therapeutic programme for obese women. Auxiliary materials such as food diaries and meal planning sheets are also included.
