Dieting

Paper Summary:

This case study attempts to assist a patient with her dieting program by providing insights into the cognitive continuum theory and her maladaptive automatic thought pattern and erroneous assumptions, attitudes and beliefs on which she is basing her lack of will power.

From the Paper:

"The medical community is now convinced that a majority of depressive disorders may be nothing more than the result of some maladaptive, voluntary or involuntary, defense strategy that usually is based on some insecure attachment. This implies that X may be working on a false assumption when she says she is an 'all or nothing' person. Thus, the first thing X needs to understand is that she is most likely basing her decision that her will power may not be sufficient to maintain her planned eating program is some type of cognitive defense strategy."
