The following patient's preliminary assessment test is the fruit
of over ten years work carried out by a team made up of psychologists and
nutritionists.
This program was used for the first time in 1994 and has been perfected in
time, thanks to the daily use of the specialists.
The results of this test are very similar to the conclusions reached by the
same therapists after having met the patients.
This program helps the nutritionist to undertake the optimal line of treatment
for the patient, which is fundamental for the whole of the therapeutic course.
Based on the studies carried out and the experience accumulated over the years,
we have come to recognize the opportunity of giving the patient, who is
starting the diet treatment, a brief but fundamental introduction in which the
importance of changing the eating habits and the close connection that exists
between these and the weight and metabolic variation, are explained.
The aptitude test is an instrument, as has already been pointed out, of great
importance, that cannot, however, take the place of the doctor's experience and
opinion which derive from the relationship with the patient.
