Perfectionism - the setting of high personal standards for performance - can be a helpful and adaptive trait that pushes us to strive for excellence in many areas of life. This is particularly true within the academic context, where these efforts are often encouraged and rewarded. For some people, however, perfectionism can become unhelpful leading to impossibly high personal standards, intense focus on perceived shortcomings or mistakes, excessive time spent on negative self-evaluation and criticism, increased anxiety and distress, decreased concentration and procrastination. Both sides of perfectionism will be explored with a focus on strategies to foster adaptive perfectionism.
