The book skilfully maps out the latest evidence related to the nature, development, and consequences of perfectionism in its various guises. It also thoughtfully presents evidence-informed recommendations for those working with athletes, exercisers, and dancers who exhibit perfectionism. A highly recommended read!"

"Edited by one of the world-leading researchers on perfectionism in performance domains, and comprising a variety of insightful, critical, and novel chapters written by leaders in the field, this book should be a go-to resource for any academics or practitioners interested in understanding this complex and important topic. Taking a critical and reflective approach to the field, the text provokes you to reconsider perceptions pertaining to perfectionism and re-evaluate your understanding of both research and practice as it pertains to perfectionism."
