Greater History of Weight-related Stigmatizing Experience is Associated with Greater Weight Loss in Obesity Treatment
Experiences of obesity stigmatization and fear of fat, body image and self-esteem, were examined in relation to weight loss and weight maintenance. Participants in obesity treatment ( N = 185) with more stigmatizing experiences had poorer body image and greater fear of fat. Higher initial BMI, more stigmatizing experiences, lower body dissatisfaction and greater fear of fat predicted greater weight loss. Higher initial BMI and more stigmatizing e…

Parental Feeding Attitudes and Styles and Child Body Mass Index
Background. Parental feeding styles were linked to child weight in cross-sectional studies, which were unable to test the direction of effect. Prospective studies can best establish causal relationships among such variables. Objective. We tested the 2-year stability of parental feeding attitudes and styles and investigated whether these variables predict child body mass index (BMI) z scores 2 years later. We evaluated whether these associations w…
Getting Worse
Objective : The prevalence of childhood obesity more than doubled in the period from 1961 to 2001. We replicated a 1961 study of stigma in childhood obesity to see what effect this increased prevalence has had on this stigma. Research Methods and Procedures : Participants included 458 5th‐ and 6th‐grade children attending upper‐middle and lower‐middle income U.S. public schools. Children ranked six drawings of same‐sex children with obesity, vari…
Depression and obesity
Long-term maintenance of weight loss
Intervention strategies for promoting long-term weight loss are examined empirically and conceptually. Weight control research over the last 20 years has dramatically improved short-term treatment efficacy but has been less successful in improving long-term success. Interventions in preadolescent children show greater long-term efficacy than in adults. Extending treatment length and putting more emphasis on energy expenditure have modestly improv…

Socioeconomic status and obesity
A review of 144 published studies of the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and obesity reveals a strong inverse relationship among women in developed societies. The relationship is inconsistent for men and children in developed societies. In developing societies, however, a strong direct relationship exists between SES and obesity among men, women, and children. A review of social attitudes toward obesity and thinness reveals values…

Retrospective Exaggeration of Symptoms
The possibility that patients may retrospectively exaggerate the severity of complaints that they have experienced has not been systematically investigated. The validity of retrospective reports was called into question by a study of vomiting following gastric bypass surgery for obesity. Such vomiting occurred relatively infrequently--no more than 3.4 times per week, even during the first postoperative month. At a 6-month follow-up, however, some…
Absence of Naloxone Sensitivity in Obese Humans
Studies in rodents suggest the possibility of an association between elevated endogenous opiate activity and overeating and obesity. One measure of elevated opiate activity is sensitivity to the opiate antagonist naloxone. Seven massively obese human subjects showed no subjective or physiological sensitivity to large intravenous doses of naloxone. This finding fails to support a relationship between elevated endorphin activity and human obesity

Psychodynamics of Obesity
Smorgasbord and Obesity
The Efimov effect describes that in a three-body system of identical bosons, an accumulation of bound states occurs in the limit of zero energy and diverging scattering length of the two-particle interaction. Recent experimental successes have shown signatures of those bound states, called Efimov trimers. The experiments provide evidence of the existence of Efimov trimers only in an indirect way. The short life-time of the trimers is prohibiting …

Presidential Address-1974
Psychosomatic medicine began as a social movement within medicine, designed to counteract the mechanistic and impersonal features that had accompanied the introduction of science into medical education. In its early days, therapeutic inefficacy led to a concentration upon understanding the origins of disorders in which emotional determinants played a role. To a large exten, psychosomatic medicine is still identified with such understanding. Withi…
The Relationship of Gastric Motility and Hunger
A series of studies designed to ascertain the relationship of gastric motility to hunger in man were carried out. The first, a 24-hour study of 3 subjects of normal weight, revealed no relationship between gastric or duodenal motility and reports of hunger or food intake. Four-hour studies of eight triads of neurotic obese, obese control and nonobese control subjects revealed a relationship between gastric motility and intensity of reports of hun…
Behavior Modification in the Treatment of Obesity
Current interest in behavior modification has extended to the treatment of obesity and the results of two recent applications of this technology have been encouraging. The present study compared behavior modification in groups with traditional group psychotherapy in a sample of 32 obese patients. Each of two groups treated with behavior modification lost more weight than a matched control group treated with traditional group therapy. Furthermore,…
Direct Measurement of Food Intake in Man
A method for the direct measurement of food intake in man is described. This method provides a means for independently studying many of the variables which are thought to operate in the control of food intake. A liquid diet from a hidden reservoir was ingested through a straw during a 20-min. breakfast or lunch meal. Subjects were tested at the same time each day for several weeks. Stable ingestion patterns emerged after four or five trials. The …

Eating Disorders
Pathogenesis in Human Obesity
There has been presented an alternative to the hypothesis that an increased drive to eat leads to the hyperphagia of obese persons. Evidence from laboratory animal experiments suggests that satiety may represent not merely the passive extinction of a drive but an active process with an internal dynamics of its own. If this is true, a disorder in this process may give rise to the overeating of some obese persons by the same mechanism which provoke…
Physical Activity, Emotions, and Human Obesity
Caloric expenditure due to physical activity is a potentially important and largely neglected factor in human obesity. The present study indicates that decreased physical activity may play a role in the production and maintenance of the obesity of at least some persons. Obese women appear to be far less active than nonobese women, and this difference in activity is paralleled by differences in attitudes toward activity. An investigation of the re…
Obesity and the Denial of Hunger
The relationship of gastric motility to the experience of hunger has been investigated. In accord with traditional views a group of nonobese women usually reported hunger during contractions of the empty stomach, and no hunger in the absence of such contractions. A group of obese women, on the other hand, usually failed to report hunger during the presence of stomach contractions. This denial of hunger extended to a denial of sensations of epigas…
A New Method in Medical Education
This report describes a small-group method which has been developed for problems involving doctor-patient interaction. It is derived from the case conference but substitutes for a patient a prepared case designed to highlight certain points in diagnosis and management. This innovation obviates the dependency upon available patients for teaching material and involves the students emotionally by permitting them to test their plan of management agai…
