About the Book

The Relational Dimensions of Weight Management is a book for nonspecialist psychotherapists of any theoretical orientation to help patients concerned with weight management. Psychotherapy patients use their therapists as sounding boards to help them answer two questions: Do I need to lose weight? And, if I do need to lose weight, how should I go about it? Chapters provide therapists with the tools they need to help patients find personalized solutions to their weight loss concerns, to boost their self-image, and to deal with the judgment that is sometimes imposed by others, regardless of which weight management approach patients eventually embrace.

About the Author :
Lawrence Josephs, PhD, is a professor at the Derner School of Psychology at Adelphi University. He also offers individual and couples therapy in private practice in New York City.

Review :
"Dr Josephs's book illustrates a novel approach to help psychotherapy patients manage their weight by using the power of the therapeutic relationship as a fulcrum of change. In psychotherapy, patients figure out how to manage their weight when one-size-fits-all approaches may not apply and work through their indecision when they are of two minds about how to go about it. Josephs not only recounts the many challenges patients and their therapists are likely to encounter on patients' weight-management journeys but also offers unique pathways to navigate those challenges. Vivid case illustrations bring this approach to life." Geoff Goodman, PhD, ABPP, FIPA, CST, CSAT-S, CPTT-S, RPT-S, professor, Emory University Psychoanalytic Institute, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Emory University School of Medicine "Dr Josephs tackles a common clinical concern and does so with a unique and rich consideration. He addresses the relational/cultural dimensions of weight management and examines the ways the patient-therapist relationship can be strained or ruptured when approaching it in psychotherapy. Clinicians across levels and traditions will greatly appreciate this significant contribution with its many insights and illustrations." J. Christopher Muran, PhD, dean and professor, The Gordon F. Derner School of Psychology, Adelphi University' principal investigator, Mount Sinai Beth Israel Psychotherapy Research Program
