  1. The Wilcoxon signed rank test was used for comparisons of weight and psychological factors before and after intervention.
  2. The TEG scores from the first session (pre-TEG) were compared to those taken on completion (post-TEG) of the program in order to identify changes in these patients' psychological characteristics before and after intervention.
