Writing for psychologists and medical professionals, Stroebe (social psychology, Utrecht U., the Netherlands) considers various factors and consequences of weight gain and obesity, and proposes his own goal conflict theory as a means of understanding the problems and making some headway with solutions. He examines the definitions of being overweight and obesity; why they are serious problems in several countries (especially the US and UK); gender, class, race, and ethnicity differences; physiological aspects; genetic risk factors; and various psychological theories.
