| Abstract: | Therapy based on the rational emotive model (RET) was compared to an attention placebo group and a no-treatment control group in a controlled outcome study with 40 overweight Ss (mean age 37.7 yrs). The dependent measure was decrease in pounds overweight employing a 32 factorial design. Results show differential effects among the treatment groups with the RET group having the greatest reduction in overweight over an extended period of time.
