The Overweight Mind and Body: Your Unique Psychological Journey Towards Weight Loss
Autor Kathy Leachen Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 feb 2022
The book enables the reader to discover the psychological drives that lead to unwanted weight and to find ways of meeting those drives other than with food. It introduces a simple, user-friendly theory of Transactional Analysis to promote weight-related self-awareness. The author includes exercises that empower readers to uncover their own stories. She understands that, for many, carrying extra weight is emotionally and physically painful and so gently encourages readers to explore at their own level. She uses case studies to demonstrate the many unconscious influences on one’s eating and how, when people discover and resolve these influences, they no longer need extra food. Reading them shows that "you are not alone".
This book will also be of interest to, and a useful guide for, practitioners in the caring professions who work with clients struggling with eating and overweight.

General, Postgraduate, and ProfessionalRecenzii
As a surgeon who has worked with patients suffering from overeating and with an interest in the neurology and mental processing of emotion, I was very pleased to read this book. It is well researched and academically rigorous yet accessible to the public. It is equally valuable to the student and practitioner. What distinguishes this work from numerous others is the empathetic treatment given to this difficult subject, only possible by an experienced and sensitive therapist. The author is clearly completely in command of her subject and she reflects a deep knowledge of all the psychological swerves that lead to loss of nutritional control. The solutions are sympathetically and persuasively explained and aimed at permanence. I recommend this book as a valuable addition to the literature of disordered eating.
