Treatment of Obese Children: A New Rationale

Caroline Braet

University of Ghent, Belgium

The treatment of moderately overweight children should focus on changes in eating styles rather than on dietary restraint. An educational programme has been designed with the aim of normalizing eating behaviours in a child-friendly way and without the prescription of a strict diet, and is illustrated with a case-report of a 12-year-old boy. The programme is based on the principles of cognitive-behavioural therapy. Strong emphasis is put on the therapeutic goal: self-regulation of a healthy life style.

Key Words: case-report • childhood obesity • cognitive-behavioural therapy • rationale • treatment
