This book brings together the world's leading perfectionism
researchers and theorists to present their latest findings and
ideas on how and why perfectionism may confer risks or benefits for
health and well-being, as well as the contexts which may shape
these relationships. In addition to providing an overview of the
latest research in this field, this volume explores new conceptual
models that may help further our understanding of when, how, and
why perfectionism may be implicated in health and well-being. After
presenting an overview of the conceptual and measurement issues
surrounding the concepts of perfectionism, health, and well-being,
three sections address the implications of perfectionism for health
and well-being. The first of these sections provides an overview of
research and theory on the role of perfectionism in health and
illness, health behaviors, and chronic illness. The next section of
the book focuses on the cognitive and affective underpinnings of
perfectionism as they relate to psychopathology, distress, and
well-being, including how it applies to eating disorders,
depression, and anxiety. The final section of the book explores
specific contexts and how they may contour the associations of
perfectionism with health and well-being, such as in the domains of
interpersonal relationships, academic pursuits, and work-related
settings. Perfectionism and wellbeing is a topic not just for
researchers and scholars, but clinicians and practitioners as well.
For this reason, chapters also include a discussion of prevention
and treatment issues surrounding perfectionism where relevant. By
doing so, this volume is an important resource for not only
researchers, but also for those who may wish to use it in applied
and clinical settings. By presenting the latest theory and research
on perfectionism, health, and well-being with a translational
focus, Perfectionism, Health, and Well-Being makes a unique and
significant contribution to perfectionism as well as general
wellness literature, and highlights the need to address the burden
of perfectionism for health and well-being. .
