The topic of this essay is overweight, more specifically a particular type of overweight. The type of overweight in question is characterized by compact and heavy tissue, occasionally in some parts of the body only, or the whole body may be affected. People who develop such heavy, compact bodies may convey an impression of being sensitive and resourceful, and as if they do not get an outlet for their resources. Viewed this way their condition may be seen as a resource management problem. In order to work with such a problem the task is to create a therapeutic relation within which to find out about the resources, and to get them mobilized and canalized.
