Abstract
TOPS represents a uniquely successful self-help approach to obesity, with results apparently superior to those of routine medical management. In a study of 22 chapters, the effectiveness of TOPS matched the best reported results of medical treatment. If given the support it deserves from medicine, the organization could be of even greater usefulness in the control of the common problem of overweight.Keywords
