Stanley J Ulijaszek's new book Models of Obesity (published October, 2017) might be thought to be primarily of interest to obesity researchers, but in fact it offers potential applications beyond obesity, in the field of public mental health.¹ Parallels between public health responses to obesity and mental health issues are already apparent. In both cases, concern about their rising levels has increased, what constitutes normality is contested, the extent to which they are socially constructed or appropriately medicalised is debated, and the focus on intervening during childhood is increasing.

重新思考公共心理健康：从肥胖中学习

Stanley J Ulijaszek的新著作《肥胖症模型》（Models of Obesity）（2017年10月出版）可能被认为是肥胖症研究人员的主要兴趣所在，但实际上，它提供了肥胖症以外的公共心理健康领域的潜在应用。¹公共卫生对肥胖症和心理健康问题的反应之间的平行关系已经很明显。在这两种情况下，人们对他们的水平上升的担忧都在增加，人们对正常性的构成提出了质疑，人们对他们的社会结构或适当的医疗水平进行了辩论，对儿童期干预的关注也在增加。
