Popis: The Children’s Hospital Association formed a national interprofessional workgroup to develop recommendations for the assessment and treatment of pediatric obesity. A subcommittee of psychologists created practice recommendations defining the role of psychologists in Stage III interprofessional pediatric obesity treatment teams. The committee carefully defined key issues for a psychological diagnostic interview assessment and treatment strategies within a Stage III obesity treatment center. Psychologist’s assessment and treatment within the interprofessional specialty care setting addresses the psychosocial needs of the youth and provides the additional support for behavioral change to achieve the overall treatment team goals.
