Overcoming Perfectionism: A self-help guide using cognitive behavioral techniques By Roz Shafran, Sarah Egan, and Tracey Wade
Published 2010 307 Pages Paperback
Learn how to break the circle of 'never good enough'.
Striving for something can be a healthy and positive attribute; it's good to aim high. But sometimes whatever we do just isn't good enough; we want to be too perfect and start setting unrealistic goals. Such high levels of perfectionism, often driven by low self-esteem, can turn against success and develop into unhealthy obsession, triggering serious mental health problems, such as anxiety, depression and eating disorders. 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.
- Describes how clinical perfectionism manifests itself
- Suggests effective coping strategies with invaluable guidance on how to avoid future relapse
Overcoming self-help guides use clinically proven Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to treat long-standing and disabling conditions, both psychological and physical. Many guides in the Overcoming series are recommended by the UK Department of Health under the Books on Prescription scheme.
Series Editor: Professor Peter Cooper.
