Summary

The difficulties in loosing weight may not stem from lack og knowledge about nutrition, as implied by the standard treatment but from difficulties in following the advice. The hypothesis is, that revealing and addressing these difficulties psychotherapeutically may be more efficient in obtaining weight reduction. The effect of psychological group treatment of severely overweight children and their parents is compared with traditional nutritional information. In other words: Which is better: back-up or enlightenment?
