| Summary: | Perfectionism has been found to be elevated across disorders, with evidence that it can interfere with treatment outcome. Study 1, provides evidence of convergent validity of the CPQ in a mixed clinical sample (N = 32). In Study 2, guided self-help CBT for clinical perfectionism decreased perfectionism and psychopathology in an elevated perfectionism sample (N = 40) with self-criticism mediating treatment outcome. The intervention also reduced primary DSM-IV diagnosis and comorbid presentations. |
