Summary:

This book integrates contemporary theory and research on the nature of perfectionism, with particular focus on perfectionism as maladaptive. Chapters are divided into four sections. The first part serves as an introduction to some basic themes in the perfectionism field. The second part examines the role of social, motivational, emotional, and cognitive factors in perfectionism. The next part focuses primarily on the important association between perfectionism and life stress and how the two combine to produce adjustment difficulties. The final part of the book addresses perfectionism as it relates to clinical disorders in the therapeutic context. The goal of the book is to further research on the assessment, nature, and treatment of dysfunctional forms of perfectionism. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved)
