Today we honored to interview Dr. the Disposal of Judith on how the cognitive techniques can be applied to develop a number of important mental competences. The last application of these? Slimming.

Dr. the Disposal of Judith is the Director of the Institute of Disposal for Therapy and the Cognitive Research, Master of lectures Clinic of Psychology in Psychiatry to the University of Pensylvanie, and the author of Cognitive Therapy: The basic principles and Beyond. She most of recent book is The Solution of System of Disposal: Induce Your Brain To Think As a Thin Person.

Alvaro Fernandez (AF) : Dr. the Disposal, thank for your time. What the Disposal does It Institute does?

The Disposal of Judith (JB) : We have 3 principal activities. The one, we induce practiciens and researchers by a selection of programs of formation. Two, we furnish the care clinic. Three, we implied in the research on cognitive therapy.

AF: Please to explain cognitive therapy in some sentences

JB: Cognitive therapy, as developed by my Disposal of Aaron of father, is a complete system of psychotherapy, based on the idea that the people in a manner perceive their experience influences their emotional, behavioral responses and physiologiques. The party of what we do are to help people resolve the problems that they do facing today. We teach them also cognitive and behavioral competences to modify their thought and their dysfunctional actions.

AF: I understand that cognitive therapy was tried for a lot of years in a selection of applications clinics. What you did it motivate to bring these techniques to the field of weight loss while shouting The Solution of System of Disposal?

JB: Since the beginning, I principally treated psychiatric external patients with a selection of diagnostic, especially the depression and anxiety. Some patients expressed the weight loss as a secondary objective in the treatment. I found that a lot of the techniques more same, more cognitive and more behavioral that helped them overcome their other problems could help them also slims and to keep it of.

I became notably interested in the problem of obesity and could identify manners to think or specific knowledge of the food, eat, hunger, want, the perfectionnisme, the powerlessness, the picture of oneself, injustice, the deprivation, and of others, that necessary to be targeted to help the attains their objective.

AF: Which research does result from return your conclusion that these techniques help?

JB: Probably the study the more better published if moved away is the controlled study random by Stahre of the Institute of Karolinska and Halstrom. The results hit: almost all 65 patients completed the program and this intervention in the short one run (10-week, of 30 hours) showed the reduction of in the long term significant weight, even bigger (when in comparison of the 40 individuals in the check group) after 18 months that immediately following that the of 10 weeks programs.

AF: That seems impressive. Can you explain what does this so effective approach?

JB: A unique characteristic is that the book does not offer a system but furnishes tools to develop the manner to think that is demanded for the success viable, to modify of think about sabotaging and the behaviors that typically follows by the good initial intention to people. I help persons to the system acquia¨rent of new competences. We sold more than 70,000 books if removed, and have the intention to relax a companion notebook this month more to help readers execute the program of 6 weeks and the track progress.

AF: Then, in a direction, we could say that your book is supplementary to all others deliver system.

JB: It Exactement-il will help readers to the framework and to attain their objectives in the long term, supposing that the system is healthy, nutritious, and well balanced.

The principal message of general cognitive therapy, and his application in the system world, is frank: the problems not slimming are a defect. The problems reflect simply lacks it competences -- the competences that can be obtained and can be mastered by the practice. The persons to the system that read the book or the notebook learns a competence newer, more cognitive or more behavioral everyday for six weeks. They practice some just competences once; they of others incorporate automatically for their life.

AF: Which are competences and the cognitive and emotional habits that the persons to the system need to induce, and where your book helps?

JB: Big question. That is exactly my objective: to show how everyone can learn some critical competences. The a key is:

1) How oneself to motivate. The first task that the persons to the system do is to write a list of the 15 of 20 reasons why they want to slim and read that enumerates only every day.

2) the Project in advance and behavior of oneself supervisor. A typical reason for system failure is a strong preference for the spontaneity. I ask the people to prepare a project and then I the signs the competences to be anxious it.

3) To Overcome thoughts sabotaging. The persons to the system have hundreds and hundreds of thoughts that the take to engage in to eat the behavior not very useful.

THE GRADE: discussion continues now in the item The System of Disposal: Induce Your Brain To Think As a Thin Person (Separates 2).
