The Meaning of Obesity among Marriage and Family Therapists
Moore D, Williams L, Kimbrough A, Taylor C, Jacob M, Willis M
In this study, researchers examined the meaning of obesity among marriage and family Therapists utilizing a qualitative methodological approach (phenomenology). A total of 15 MFTs engaged in semi-structured interviews and reflected on their epistemology regarding obesity and weight-related concerns among individuals, couples and families, in addition to reflecting on their level of preparation regarding working with obese clients in clinical treatment. This study illuminated three themes: 1. Being unhealthy, being overweight; 2. personal knowledge and self-perceptions; and 3. Lack of knowledge and confidence. In this study, authors discuss clinical implications as well as provide recommendations regarding obesity training for therapists.
