The impact of bariatric rehabilitation service on weight loss and psychological adjustment

Biography

I'm a Professor of Health Psychology and I've been researching and writing about eating behaviour and weight management for over 30 years. My research interests include obesity management, aspects of women’s health and communication in healthcare. I often share my expertise and I'm a frequent contributor to magazines, radio and television including Secret Eaters, The Truth about Fat and The Truth about Take Aways for Channel 4.

I've written several books including a textbook in health psychology, now in its sixth edition, and Thinking Critically about Research which is for anyone interested in research. I've also authored books for a more general audience, including The Psychology of Dieting and The Good Parenting Food Guide.

I teach psychology, nutrition, dietetics and veterinary science students to think psychologically about health. I am also the Programme Leader of the PhD Psychology course.
