Perfectionism: A Relational Approach to Conceptualization, Assessment, and Treatment

by Paul L. Hewitt, Gordon L. Flett, Samuel F. Mikail

Grounded in decades of influential research, this book thoroughly examines how it develops, its underlying mechanisms and psychological costs, and how to target it effectively in psychotherapy. The authors describe how perfectionistic tendencies--rooted in early relational and developmental experiences--make people vulnerable to a wide range of clinical problems. They present an integrative treatment approach and demonstrate ways to tailor interventions to the needs of individual clients. A group treatment model is also detailed. State-of-the-art assessment tools are discussed (and provided at the companion website). Throughout the book, vivid clinical illustrations make the core ideas and techniques concrete.

[Tirdad · Rating 3 out of 5]

این کتاب بیشتر یک مرجع دربارهٔ کمال‌گرایی است که برای درمان‌گران نوشته شده. با این وجود حداقل فایده‌اش برای من این بود که فهمیدم کمال‌گرایی طیف بسیار گسترده‌ای از الگوهای رفتاری را در بر می‌گیرد و روند درمانش هم پیچیده است.

A super quick skim tells me this book would be worth having as a reference for clinical work.
