Role of the therapist in the self-control of obesity.

Seven major problem areas which often arise in treating the obese client are identified: the recalcitrant client, attrition, nonstandardized improvement criteria, deficiencies in monitoring treatment effectiveness, therapist characteristics and credibility, achieving weight or fat loss, and maintaining the weight or fat loss. Specific therapeutic recommendations, derived from a review of the weight control literature, are made for confronting each of these areas.
