Why do so many people become overweight and obese and why do they
find it so difficult to lose weight? In this second edition of his
influential book on Dieting, Overweight and Obesity, Wolfgang
Stroebe - who developed the goal conflict model of eating -
explores the physiological, environmental and psychological
influence on weight gain and examines how these processes are
affected by genetic factors. Like the first edition, the book takes
a social-cognitive approach to weight regulation and discusses how
exposure to environmental cues can set-off overeating in chronic
dieters. In addition to extensively revising and updating the
chapters of the first edition, this second edition features three
new chapters. The chapter on successful restrained eating reviews
personality factors as well as recent experimental research on
impulse control. The chapters on psychological treatment of obesity
and on primary prevention describe and evaluate the various
treatment and prevention approaches and the research conducted to
assess their efficacy. This book is essential reading for students,
researchers and clinicians interested in an up-to-date review of
the field of eating research and a new theoretical approach to the
study of overweight and obesity.
