    The Psychology of Perfectionism: The struggle to be good enough with Dr. Paul Hewitt Part 2
    Oct 22 2024

    Join Dan and returning guest, Dr. Paul Hewitt, and continue deeper into the psychology of perfectionism.

    Dr. Paul Hewitt is a registered clinical psychologist and a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of British Columbia.

Hebb Award for Distinguished Contributions to Psychology as a Science by the Canadian Psychological Association.

    In part 2, Dan and Dr. Hewitt explore the complexities of perfectionism in therapy, emphasizing the importance of vulnerability and the therapeutic alliance. They discuss how perfectionism often stems from unmet relational needs and the emotional pain associated with it. Then, Dr. Hewitt elaborates on the effectiveness of group therapy for perfectionistic individuals and critiques the limitations of cognitive behavioural therapy in addressing deeper relational issues. They finish by discussing the emerging research on perfectionism in children and the need for a more nuanced understanding of psychological constructs beyond traditional DSM categories.
