Abstract

Obesity in adolescents is a common reason for consulting a physician for angst associated with a need to lose weight. The multidisciplinary treatment takes into account the teenager's temporality. The duration of the initial treatment must be optimised in order to construct, with the teenager, a project which corresponds to his or her particular difficulties.

Keywords: adolescent; day hospital; duration of treatment; durée de suivi; hôpital de jour; obesity; obésité; teenager; therapeutic education; éducation thérapeutique.
