The Psychology of Perfectionism: Theory, Research, Applications, 1st Edition, edited by Joachim Stoeber, is an academic book that synthesizes twenty-five years of research, theory, and treatment. The collection gathers contributions from leading researchers to examine perfectionism as a multifaceted personality disposition.
The volume investigates empirical research focused on stress, vulnerability, and personal resilience, while considering how perfectionistic tendencies emerge across distinct groups. It also evaluates modern frameworks in the field, including the social disconnection model of perfectionism.
Published by Routledge, the volume is designed for academics, students, and practitioners working across clinical, counseling, personality, and applied psychology. It offers foundational guidance for readers seeking an integrated understanding of the disposition, its physical health relationships, and intervention methods.
