Despite sufficient evidence on the role of nutrition in psychosocial health, Marriage and Family Therapists lack the knowledge for sufficient assessment and referrals in treatment. The purpose of this article is to orient MFTs to human metabolism and the effects of various nutrients, or lack thereof, on the psychosocial health in their clients. The roles of several micronutrients and macronutrients will be described as well as the effects of eating patterns and overall metabolic health on mental health. Finally, implications for MFTs as sole practitioners, domains for assessment and psychoeducation, and recommendations for collaborating with nutrition professionals will be discussed.

MFT 应该了解哪些营养、心理社会健康以及与营养专业人士的协作护理

尽管有足够的证据表明营养在社会心理健康中的作用，但婚姻和家庭治疗师缺乏足够的评估和治疗转诊的知识。本文的目的是将 MFT 定位于人类新陈代谢以及各种营养素或缺乏营养素对其客户的心理社会健康的影响。将描述几种微量营养素和大量营养素的作用，以及饮食模式和整体代谢健康对心理健康的影响。最后，将讨论 MFT 作为唯一从业者、评估和心理教育领域的影响，以及与营养专业人士合作的建议。
