1Laboratory of Cognitive Clinical Sciences, Department of Psychology, University of Bucharest, Bucharest, Romania.
Abstract:
The current piece of work is a commentary section for the special issue regarding the treatment of perfectionism. It discusses analytically the similarities and the differences between the six clinical case formulations included in the special issue to emphasize that there are different routes to beneficial outcomes. All the psychotherapeutic approaches included here are either transdiagnostic or have transdiagnostic applications. As such, the second part of the commentary focuses on the transdiagnostic future of the treatment of perfectionism. Concluding remarks evidence a collection of clinical case studies covering multiple forms of psychotherapy and an integrating overview of the literature from which practitioners can extract best practices examples. Though there is still a lot to be done with and for interventions on perfectionism, the current collection of case studies is a good starting point.
