[Diet and psychological therapy in a group of severely obese patients].
The authors evaluated the usefulness of the psychological therapy in addition to usual diet treatment. Fifty subjects with severe obesity, have been randomly assigned to two different treatment groups: a) diet; b) diet plus psychotherapy. At the end of the study only the patients treated with diet plus psychotherapy showed any highly significant body weight reduction and a better diet adherence.
