At stræbe efter at gøre sit absolut yderste er en god egenskab, og det er godt at sætte store mål for sig selv. Men lider man af overdreven perfektionstrang, vil det aldrig føles godt nok, uanset hvor hårdt man stræber. Man vil gerne fremstå perfekt i alle henseender og kommer derfor til at sætte helt urealistiske standarder for sig selv, standarder, der i virkeligheden stiller sig i vejen for, at målene kan indfries. Perfektionisme udspringer af lavt selvværd og kan uden fornøden indgriben medføre tvangsadfærd og depressioner. AT OVERVINDE PERFEKTIONISME beskriver hvordan perfektionismen kan dominere på en ødelæggende og hindrende måde og anviser metoder og øvelser til at ændre den karakteristiske alt eller intet-tankegang til en mere udviklende fleksibilitets- og frihedstankegang.

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') is 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.
