Abstract
In this chapter, we provide an overview of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), the rationale for integrating it into the management of severe obesity, and examples of CBT strategies that can be helpful in working with patients with severe obesity. We then review the empirical evidence supporting the effectiveness of CBT in patients with severe obesity (both surgical and non-surgical populations). Finally, we return to the case example to illustrate the application of CBT techniques in clinical practice.
