Reviews for Effective Weight Loss: An Acceptance-Based Behavioral Approach, Clinician Guide
The science of effective weight loss has long been bogged down, searching for a progressive way forward. Finally, a new evidence-based alternative has emerged that builds on and adds to what we know and that appears to produce better outcomes. Well written and practical, this book opens an arena for treatment providers to explore. Highly recommended.
