Worksheets and a range of other tools are provided as appendices.

Index.

I was looking to start some sort of group therapy for women who have been battling obesity without success for years. I have always beleived that the psychological component of weight loss is never addressed in most (if not all) weight loss programs. This book wasthe perfect solution to my quandry on how to proceed. Thank you!
