A weight control group is described, led jointly by a general practitioner and a clinical psychologist. Approaches employed included dietary advice, behavioural advice, and group support. Of the original 16 members (including one group leader), seven dropped out at an early stage and the reasons for this are discussed. All members were re-weighed at intervals up to 18 months after the beginning of the six-month intensive period. They were also interviewed by a psychological research worker a year after the start of the group. The results suggest that a combined dietetic and psychological approach to weight control is of value.
描述了一个由一名全科医生和一名临床心理学家共同领导的体重控制小组。采用的方法包括饮食建议、行为建议和团体支持。在最初的16名成员（包括一名组长）中，有7人在早期退出，并对退出原因进行了讨论。在为期6个月的强化期开始后的18个月内，定期对所有成员重新称重。在小组开始一年后，一名心理学研究人员也对他们进行了访谈。结果表明，饮食和心理相结合的体重控制方法是有价值的。
