Wadden, Thomas A; Stunkard, Albert J.
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v54 n4 p482-88 Aug 1986
Assessed the effectiveness of a combined program of very low calorie diet and behavior therapy in treating obesity. Combined treatment and behavior therapy alone subjects maintained weight losses; none of the diet alone subjects met the criterion used to define maintenance. Only those receiving behavior therapy alone and combined treatment showed significant decreases in depression. (Author/ABB)
