Handbook of Obesity Intervention for the Lifespan
Edited by Larry C. James, Wright State University, Dayton, OH, USA

Environmental, genetic, psychological, and societal factors interact to produce obesity, a chronic condition of epidemic proportions. The Handbook of Obesity Intervention for the Lifespan guides professionals in meeting this complex challenge with a multidisciplinary palette of evidence-based interventions that can be tailored to men and women across the lifespan, regardless of background. This unique reference combines salient research data and hands-on clinical applications for use with overweight patients, from the very young to the very old, and includes a "treatment resources" section with extra materials to bolster therapy-all geared toward respectful, encouraging treatment and lasting weight-loss results.
Key features of the Handbook:
- Review of the obesity literature, both pediatric and adult.
- Exercise interventions for children and adults.
- Lifestyle interventions for adolescents, adults, and seniors.
- Weight-related cultural issues throughout the lifespan.
- Bariatric surgery: when is it indicated? How successful is it?
- The ten critical steps to healthy weight loss.
- Clinical resources, patient self-help materials, and useful websites.
With excess weight contributing to some 300,000 deaths in the U.S. each year, the Handbook of Obesity Intervention for the Lifespan will be welcomed-and consulted frequently-by clinical and health psychologists, psychiatrists, primary care providers, and nutritionists.
