Product Description
Product Description
How to break the vicious circle of 'never good enough'. Perfectionism can be healthy but when it becomes unhealthy and turns into 'clinical perfectionism' (sometimes referred to as 'dysfunctional perfectionism') it can cause serious problems. It is associated with different mental health problems, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders and chronic fatigue syndrome. 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. This title covers such topics as: description of clinical perfectionism; clinical perfectionism and depression, anxiety, eating disorders, chronic fatigue; identifying the problem and monitoring; overcoming perfectionism; step-by-step self-help course based on CBT principles; avoiding relapse; case studies; other treatments; and, an overview.

This book contains some deep insights into how perfectionists think and why they behave the way they do. It then goes on to provide a variety of exercises one can do in order to change one's way of thinking. The only downside, as with all self-help books, is that you need self-discipline to stick with the exercises.

This book is a great read for anyone who lacks confidence and needs help with increasing their self-esteem. It is easy to read and informative with useful techniques and strategies to help a perfectionist relax and be happy with things when they are less than perfect. Great as self-help or for CBT practitioners working with perfectionist patients. Highly recommended.
