Psychology assesses, diagnoses and proposes forms of intervention, seeking to empower individuals, enabling them to envisage other ways of thinking that aim to improve their quality of life.

The psychologist’s intervention will help the individual to identify and understand the emotional factors that may be at the root of inadequate eating behaviours, associated with defence and control mechanisms in which food is used as a form of compensation, as well as enabling the development of the emotional and motivational resources needed to overcome obstacles by helping the patient to interpret their feelings and guiding them in understanding their emotions.
