title: [Experiences with a behavior-therapeutic group program for weight reduction].
abstract: 26 obese persons were treated in 3 groups of similar size with a behavior modification programme. The group sessions were led by a physician and a socialpsychologist and lasted 10 weeks. The average loss of weight in the 3 groups at the end of the programme was between 3,8 and 5,5kg. The results form a basis for developing a new and more broadly aimed programme.
