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.
多学科肥胖团队中的心理存在已被强调为该团队的一个重要组成部分。尽管在指南和建议中有所提及,但目前关于体重管理服务中存在这种情况的程度以及存在的形式,信息甚少。在这里,我们讨论了肥胖的心理方面可能对肥胖患者产生的重要影响,以及如何将心理学纳入体重管理服务以提供全面支持。还提出了一些建议,以制定更明确的准则,为多学科团队纳入心理学提供更有力的参考。
