 ESSENTIAL OBESITY: PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACHES
3-days
A practical, evidence based training for clinicians wishing to work with obesity & weight management. It is also part of the Master Practitioner Programme.
The course covers topics which are pertinent not only to obesity but to health behaviour change in general. We cover the surface issues such as lifestyle, nutrition and activity as well as the many underlying issues in psychology and personality which must be addressed to foster change.
This course is taught largely from the front although there is ample opportunity for group interaction and sharing of expertise. The emphasis of this teaching is on a coaching model rather than one based on emotional pathology.
The teaching covers important aspects of physiology and nutrition; and from a psychological perspective will reference the latest thinking in Cognitive Approaches, Motivational Therapy, Attachment Theory and Health Behaviour Change.
