Abstract

[Once clinicians understand the need to discuss obesity with their patients and have a framework from which to do so, they need examples of real-life, time-efficient conversations that take place in a variety of practice settings. Such examples provide them with conversational templates that can be utilized and adapted to individual patients and their unique clinical situations. They demonstrate how to recognize and seize opportunities to intervene with both new and established patients in a manner that moves the conversation towards engagement in effective treatment now and in the future. Examples of how to skillfully open the door to respectful, collaborate conversations provide clinicians with much needed guidance about how they can convey empathy, curiosity, and compassion. These examples demonstrate strategies for recognizing and healing the scars that patients with obesity have from past negative interactions and proactively providing new, positive experiences.]
