Two-thirds of adult Americans are overweight or obese, and the majority of women consider themselves overweight. From the perspective that food and weight problems are not separate from a client's other issues, a Florida-based eating psychology specialist with a personal history of disordered eating presents her approach to help clients reach realistic goals. Koenig discusses related health problems, treatment options, and specific types of therapist-patient relationships (e.g., an underweight therapist-overweight client). Chapters include questions to ask clients and reflection questions for therapists.
