Although knowledge of the biological aspects of obesity is increasing very rapidly, psychological approaches are increasingly in demand. Psychological theory and research concerning the emotional and cognitive impacts of being obese, the psychological causes involved in obesity, and the psychological elements of treatment and motivations for treatment are requested. There is no clear separation between the psychological factors that function as causes of obesity and the psychological effects of obesity. Rather, they appear to be related in a circle of interconnectedness. This is important to keep in mind when seeking ways to motivate and support obese patients.
尽管关于肥胖生物学方面的知识正在迅速增长，但对心理学方法的需求也日益增加。需要有关肥胖对情绪和认知的影响、肥胖所涉及的心理原因以及治疗的心理因素和治疗动机的心理学理论与研究。作为肥胖原因的心理因素和肥胖的心理影响之间并没有明确的区分。相反，它们似乎在一个相互关联的循环中相互联系。在寻求激励和支持肥胖患者的方法时，牢记这一点很重要。
