eBook Description
Obesity, the stepchild of American medicine, may be the only remaining medical condition in which patients are stigmatized and their physicians disparaged. Few members of the medical profession profess to treat obesity, and many of those who do are marginal "diet doctors" or proprietors of pill mills. Treatment has always had limited effectiveness, and for some time it has largely been out of the hands of physicians. Psychologists, for example, developed the freebooks4ever.blogspot.com first systematic treatment for obesity -- behavior therapy -- and commercial weight-loss organizations have used this method to dominate the treatment of obesity in America. Most Americans who underwent treatment for obesity in the recent past did so under the auspices of these organizations, as obesity was progressively demedicalized. The recent entry of the pharmaceutical industry into the field has changed this picture for the better, but there is still a distressing disjunction between research and practice.
This schism is the more distressing since research on obesity has been extraordinarily productive. The book reviewed here is a celebration of this research and can take its place alongside the standard textbooks on diabetes and other metabolic diseases.
The Handbook of Obesity "has been designed to provide up-to-date coverage of the range of subjects that make up the field of obesity research," and it does this unusually well. Its 88 authors constitute a pantheon of obesity research, and it would be hard to find a topic that they have not covered, usually very well.
