Perfectionism is a New
Epidemic
Clinical psychologists, Dr. Paul Hewitt and
Dr. Gordon Flett, have spent over two
decades studying perfectionism. Based on
their research, they identify three distinct
forms of perfectionism: self-oriented (a
desire to be perfect), socially prescribed (a
desire to live up to others’ expectations), and
other-oriented (holding others to unrealistic
standards).
