Overcoming perfectionism : a self-help guide using cognitive behavioral techniques
Roz Shafran (Author), Sarah Egan (Author), Tracey Wade (Author), Peter J. Cooper
Perfectionism can be healthy but when it turns into 'clinical perfectionism' (sometimes referred to as 'dysfunctional perfectionism') it can cause serious problems. Those suffering from clinical perfectionism tend to judge themselves predominantly in terms of the pursuit and attainment of personally demanding standards and often feel unable to be flexible and change their goals, despite the significant negative impact that the pursuit of perfectionism may have on their quality of life. CBT, on which this self-help book is based, has been found to be a highly effective treatment and provides relief from that disabling sense of not being good enough
