Infos

Perfectionism can be defined as a tendency to set standards that are unreasonably high, and to measure an individual's worth in terms of their ability to meet these standards. This title demonstrates an approach to working with clients wrestling with issues surrounding maladaptive perfectionism.

Autor

Dr. Antony's primary approach to treatment is cognitive - behavioral therapy, and his work is generally in the area of anxiety disorders (e.g., social anxiety disorder, obsessive - compulsive disorder, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, specific phobia) and related conditions (e.g., perfectionism, hypochondriasis, body dysmorphic disorder). Dr. Antony tends to use exposure-based strategies for dealing with fears of situations, objects, physical sensations, and thoughts. In addition, he uses cognitive strategies to teach clients to challenge their anxious thoughts and to replace them with more realistic interpretations and predictions regarding the situations they fear. Finally, relaxation-based strategies (e.g., progressive muscle relaxation, breathing retraining) are used to help clients to cope with generalized anxiety and stress.
