Abstract:
Psychological presence in multidisciplinary obesity teams has been highlighted as an important component of such teams. Although mentioned in guidelines and recommendations, there is little information regarding the extent to which this is present currently in weight management services, and in what form. Here, we discuss important ways in which psychological aspects of obesity can impact a person living with obesity and how psychology can be incorporated to provide holistic support in weight management services. Recommendations are also made to create clearer guidelines to provide a more robust reference for the inclusion of psychology in multidisciplinary teams.
