El objetivo de este libro, cuyo origen es el ciclo de conferencias que la doctora Monereo impartió en la Fundación BBVA en marzo de 2012, es recoger el conocimiento científico sobre la obesidad, sus causas y consecuencias, y las soluciones para erradicarla. Para ello, analiza la situación partiendo de su carácter epidémico en el mundo y su relación con los cambios medioambientales ocurridos en los últimos años. Asimismo, revisa aspectos médicos y sociales de las causas que la producen desde el punto de vista de la genética, la nutrición o la falta de actividad física, así como sus consecuencias sobre la salud física y mental. Por último, pensando en la prevención y las soluciones, distingue entre métodos sustentados sobre bases científicas de aquellos otros que, aun con visos aparentes de efectividad, no están probados científicamente.

Disease-related malnutrition is a global public health problem. The consequences of disease-related malnutrition are numerous, and include shorter survival rates, lower functional capacity, longer hospital stays, greater complication rates, and higher prescription rates. Nutritional support, in the form of oral nutritional supplements or tube feeding, has proven to lead to an improvement in patient outcome. This book is unique in that it draws together the results of numerous different studies that demonstrate the benefits of nutritional support and provides an evidence base for it. It also discusses the causes, consequences, and prevalence of disease-related malnutrition, and provides insights into the best possible use of enteral nutritional support.

Recent attempts to challenge the primacy of reason--and its realization in foundationalist accounts of knowledge and cognitive formulations of human action--have focused on processes of discourse. Drawing from social and literary accounts of discourse, Kenneth Gergen considers these challenges to empiricism under the banner of "social construction." His aim is to outline the major elements of a social constructionist perspective, to illustrate its potential, and to initiate debate on the future of constructionist pursuits in the human sciences generally and psychology in particular.
