    What is the effectiveness of individual psychotherapy as part of a multicomponent pediatric weight management program to treat obesity in children or adolescents?
    • Conclusion

      No studies were identified that reported using individual psychotherapy as part of a multi-component pediatric weight-management program to treat pediatric obesity.

      However, the consensus of the work group is that using individual psychotherapy as part of a multi-component pediatric weight-management program may result in significant reductions in weight status and adiposity in children and adolescents.
