Study Notes
Behavioral Treatment Review
- Operant conditioning: reinforcement increases behavior, punishment decreases behavior
- Positive reinforcement: adding something to increase behavior
- Negative reinforcement: removing something to increase behavior
- Positive punishment: adding something to decrease behavior
- Negative punishment: removing something to decrease behavior
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- First-line therapy for weight loss
- Goal: manage problems by changing thinking patterns and behaviors
- Functional analysis: deconstructing behaviors to identify provoking factors
- Short-term efficacy, potential for relapse
- Can induce weight loss (~10-20%), long-term maintenance rare
Group Treatment
- Small groups (60-90 minutes)
- Provides social support
- Links behavior to outcomes, problem-solving techniques
- Focus on positive behaviors
Behavior Change Techniques
- Educate patients about weight loss effects from healthcare providers
- Identify barriers to weight loss and address them
- Stimulus control: restructure environment to reinforce healthy behaviors (e.g., put running shoes by the door, remove junk food)
- Goal setting: most effective when patient-led, not solely focused on weight
- Self-monitoring: helps track progress (e.g., daily weighing, food diaries, activity logs)
- Cognitive restructuring: replacing negative thoughts with positive ones
- Relapse prevention: teaching anticipation and planning for relapse
- Behavioral contracting: written agreement between patient and clinician for behavior change within a time frame
Motivational Interviewing
- Express empathy and share feelings
- Roll with resistance (avoid argumentation)
- Develop discrepancy: highlight difference between current behaviors and long-term goals
- Support self-efficacy (through past successes and affirmations)
