✦ Synopsis

Evaluated a behavioral treatment program for 147 obese atients in a Weight Control Clinic. Weight losses during treatment averagecf 11.01 pounds with large inter-8 variability. Unlike past studies, atients continued to lose weight during a &month follow-up period. Weigit loss was associated with age and initial degree of obesity, but other demographic and psychological variables failed to predict success in treatment. A critical examination of the attrition roblem was carried out to determine the relationship between atient variagles and the propensit to terminate treatment prematurely.

kesults demonstrate the utility 09 behavioral treatment procedures for obesity, yet further research is needed to reduce attrition and to facilitate long-term maintenance of weight loss.
