T2  - Obesity Medicine: Management of Obesity in Women's Health Care
AB  - Behavioral  determinants  of  obesity  have  been  widely  studied  in  the  field  of  psychology,  leading  most  to  conclude  that  it  is  a  complex  condition  that  is  difficult  to  treat  with  long-term  success.  This  chapter  reviews  the  most  common  theories  about  psychological  causes  of  obesity,  the  co-occurrence  of  obesity  and  common  mental  disorders,  and  psychological  treatment  options  for  obesity  and  binge-eating  disorder  (BED).  Suggestions  for  assessment  and  treatment  planning  are  provided  to  help  physicians  determine  the  presence  of  underlying  psychopathology  or  problematic  behavior  patterns  and  to  work  with  their  obese  patients  to  find  a  program  best  suited  to  their  individual  psychological  needs.
