Abstract

Perfectionism is one of the personality's features, as one cognitive style matches one type of behavior. The difference between normal perfectionism and morbid perfectionism is not a matter of conceptualization. It is necessary to make this difference in order to establish a series of clinical relevant features that define morbid perfectionism, which after all, concerns psychotherapy. The psychotherapy approach which is part of the cogntivite-behavioral orientation is the most privileged when we refear to treating pathological perfectionism. The psychoterapeutical intervention is based on identifying and confrunting the cognitive distortions that are part of the perfectionist behavior. Basically this involves debunking the value system of the subject who is affected by pathological perfectionism by showing the contrast between these values and the authentic ones, the pozitive ones that certanly are part of the normal perfectionism.
