【 摘 要 】

This article describes the social representations of “overweight” and “obesity” of practitioners (doctors, dietitians, psychologists) and patients (people medically categorized “overweight” or “obese”). The analysis of the terms they use, of their moral beliefs, and of their social and aesthetic norms helps to explain why people define many situations as “stigmatizing” or “discriminating”. The medical, dietetic, and psychological professionals describe the complexity of weight management, their professional dissatisfactions, and what they expect from their patients. Analyzing social representations sheds light on the gap between beliefs and mutual expectations and how these impact the management of overweight and obese patients. This analysis is also a way to illustrate the diversity of each studied group, in terms of professional background or daily-life experiences, and their consequences on medical interactions.
