Description
Perfectionism can have a helpful upside when it contributes to achievement and success. But unhelpful perfectionism can prevent us from taking risks or trying new things for fear of failure, judgment, or rejection-and ultimately keep us from reaching our highest goals. The innovative, evidence-based approach in this workbook will help readers struggling with perfectionism maintain their high standards while also accepting their mistakes with compassion and kindness.

Kemp works with adults and adolescents on issues such as perfectionism, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (ODC), eating disorders, and chronic illness.

She also founded and directs the New England Center for OCD and Anxiety, and is coauthor of The Joy of Parenting (with Amy Murrell) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: The Clinician's Guide for Supporting Parents with ACT (with Koa Whittingham).
