Abstract
A description is presented on the different areas of therapeutic intervention and the role of the dietitian in each of these. The increasing prevalence of obesity has led to a parallel increase in the number of patients seeking and receiving treatment, which represents a new and challenging opportunity for dietitians to develop innovative programs. Interpersonal skills of dietitians play an important role in the treatment outcomes, and deserve periodic review and training. A full understanding of the pathology and how this can affect people's lives, increase dietitian skills to empathize, and thereby, facilitate patient management in the short and long term to ensure a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach.
