Workshop Description:

This workshop provides extensive coverage of our dynamic-relational conceptualization, assessment, and treatment for perfectionism, a maladaptive personality style that increases an individual’s vulnerability to various forms of maladjustment, including: mood, anxiety, personality, and eating disorders; marital distress; suicide behaviour; and physical health, relationship, and achievement problems. Based on our extensive research and clinical work on perfectionism over the past 30 years, we have developed a conceptualization of perfectionism based on psychodynamic and interpersonal principles that serves as a platform for assessment and individual and group psychotherapy of perfectionism.  Participants in this workshop will be introduced to an empirically-based multidimensional model of perfectionistic behavior and its assessment and treatment. Throughout the workshop reference is made to supporting research literature; however, the predominant emphasis will be applied by drawing on extensive use of case material and experiential components.  Participants will have the opportunity to review and discuss clinical interviews accompanied by supporting assessment profiles to gain familiarity with the manner in which we develop case formulations to guide treatment.  Participants will also be introduced to a dynamic-relational model of treatment that can be applied within both an individual and group psychotherapeutic context and review and discuss video footage of individuals and groups in the treatment.  Much of the content of the workshop is based on our recently published work: Hewitt, Flett, & Mikail (2017) Perfectionism: A Dynamic ­ Relational Approach to its Conceptualization, Assessment, and Treatment. New York: Guilford Press.
