Modern psychology believes that weight problems have a very serious connection with the motivations that drive a person in life. For a modern person, excess weight can be both a symbolic defense against starvation and a defense against the too great demands of life. It can also be a protection against sexual contact. Therefore, diets and medications do not help many people, and they gain even more weight after treatment. In this book, the author outlines the view of modern psychotherapy on how to solve this problem, and gives a number of tips and effective techniques that will help readers curb the monster of obesity.
