Podcast
- Speaking of Psychology Episode 198: Perfectionism: When good is never good enough
Perfectionism might seem like a minor hurdle to overcome—or even a welcome personality trait. But perfectionism is different from simply striving for excellence, and perfectionistic people are at higher risk for anxiety, depression, and other mental health disorders. Perfectionism researcher Gordon Flett, PhD, and clinical psychologist Bonnie Zucker, PsyD, discuss where perfectionism comes from, why it’s an increasing problem, how it affects people’s mental and physical health, and how to treat it.
