Obesity has become a significant health concern among young adults aged 18-35 years. Addressing this issue is crucial, and exploring psychological treatments and perspectives specifically for this population is essential.
This literature review examines psychological treatments for obesity in young adults over the past decade. It focuses on interventions and discussions particularly relevant to this age group.
Research on obesity often overlooks young adults, with most interventions primarily focusing on weight loss and neglecting emotional aspects. Cognitive-behavioral approaches are commonly used for self-regulation and motivation, but psychodynamic perspectives remain underutilized. While group-based methods lack a detailed analysis of benefits, hybrid approaches demonstrate higher engagement compared to technology-only interventions. There is a notable gap in tailoring obesity interventions to meet the unique needs of young adults during this transitional life phase. It's imperative to shift the focus from merely weight loss to a broader consideration of psychological, emotional, and unconscious factors. Integrating group modalities with psychodynamic approaches might offer additional benefits.
This review highlights the need for further research into the psychological well-being of young adults with obesity. A more comprehensive approach is required to address their distinct needs and psychological factors.
肥胖已成为18至35岁年轻成年人中一个重大的健康问题。解决这一问题至关重要，探索专门针对这一人群的心理治疗方法和观点必不可少。
这篇文献综述考察了过去十年中针对年轻成年人肥胖问题的心理治疗方法。它聚焦于与该年龄组特别相关的干预措施和讨论。
关于肥胖的研究常常忽视年轻成年人，大多数干预措施主要侧重于减肥而忽视了情感方面。认知行为方法通常用于自我调节和激励，但心理动力学观点仍未得到充分利用。虽然基于群体的方法缺乏对益处的详细分析，但混合方法与仅采用技术的干预措施相比显示出更高的参与度。在这个过渡性的人生阶段，为满足年轻成年人的独特需求而量身定制肥胖干预措施方面存在明显差距。必须将重点从单纯的减肥转移到更广泛地考虑心理、情感和无意识因素。将群体模式与心理动力学方法相结合可能会带来更多益处。
本综述强调需要对肥胖年轻成年人的心理健康进行进一步研究。需要一种更全面的方法来满足他们独特的需求和心理因素。
