A practical resource to help young people cope with symptoms surrounding perfectionism, which can have a huge impact on education and development. Using CBT, ACT and DBT strategies, it provides everyday strategies to implement straight away and includes guidance for professionals working alongside young people too.
Perfectionism is frequently seen as a positive trait but it can have a stifling effect on young people's education and growth and can negatively impact any student regardless of their level of ability. This guide offers professionals working with teenagers the latest research into perfectionism alongside tried-and-tested strategies to alleviate the anxiety associated with it.
The first section addresses the theory and context behind perfectionism, including definitions, prevalence, links to other conditions and causal factors. The second section offers easy-to-use activities based on CBT, ACT and DBT to help young people and the professionals working with them to address the tendencies which negatively impact students' lives and academic progress.
