Counselling for Obesity Reviews

"Fascinating. Exceptional. Accurate. Unique. I am convinced that many professionals, and not only therapists, will find this book an invaluable resource for helping them to look beneath the surface of the symptoms of obesity and focus more on the contributing psychological factors. Only then can we say we will do our clients justice."
Kath Sharman, in the Foreword
