Reviews

At last, an authoritative guide to the understanding and treatment of severe perfectionism. Well written, comprehensive, and with many clinical illustrations. Highly recommended. --Christopher G. Fairburn, DM, FMedSci, FRCPsych, Professor of Psychiatry, University of Oxford, United Kingdom Maladaptive perfectionism is notoriously difficult to treat. Egan et al. provide expert, empirically informed, state-of-the-art advice for understanding, assessing, and treating this common clinical problem. This book will likely become the gold-standard clinician's guide. It offers comprehensive, step-by-step advice that will benefit both trainees and seasoned therapists. --Steven Taylor, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, University of British Columbia, Canada A 'perfect' book about the treatment of perfectionism! The authors clearly describe the nature of dysfunctional perfectionism and its relationship to psychopathology, and offer a wonderfully nuanced approach to treatment, alone or in the context of various psychological disorders. They know their material inside and out and give the reader all the tools to approach the assessment and treatment of this often vexing and difficult clinical problem. They also provide interventions that can be applied to the treatment of any clinical problem, making the book very useful for both beginning and seasoned clinicians. Bravo! --Richard G. Heimberg, PhD, Department of Psychology, Temple University
