출판사 서평

“I volunteered to review the text on publication and hope you find it as helpful as I do.”& (The Newsletter of the Irish Nutrition Dietetic Institute, 1 August 2013)“This will be useful for practitioners who are not as experienced in working with the overweight and obese population.

It aims to demonstrate how behavioural approaches can be embedded within practice to encourage patient empowerment and active decision-making. It&'s major strengths are the breadth and depth of material presented, the engaging conversational style of writing and the huge number of resources and tools included. Written by two well known and respected practitioners in the field of weight management, it benefits from their academic, clinical and training expertise. It is different from other books in this area because of the experience of the authors - this gives the book a practical element often missing from more theoretical publications.Progression throughout the book is logical. Section 1 starts with setting the scene (obesity prevalence, causes consequences). Healthcare professionals&' attitudes towards obesity and the potential effects of these upon patients are explored and the evidence for treatment options presented. Section 2 is devoted to practical application of the evidence, and how behavioural theory can be embedded in practice. It moves
