“…Self-oriented perfectionism has been associated with clinically diagnosed anxiety and also found to predict poorer treatment outcome (Mitchell, Newall, Broeren, & Hudson, 2013). Self-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism predicts depression (Huggins, Davis, Rooney, & Kane, 2008) and obsessive compulsive disorder (Soreni et al, 2014).…”

“…Previous research has consistently shown that perfectionism impedes treatment progress of anxiety and depression in children [70][71][72], such that those children who are higher in domains of perfectionism improve less during treatment.

Separate lines of research have linked the temperament factor negative affect and perfectionism with internalizing disorders. Despite theory, no previous studies have connected these lines of research to examine internalizing pathology. The current study tested a path model to investigate the mediating effect of perfectionism domains on the relation between negative affect and child anxiety, worry, and depression symptoms. Participants were 61 parent-child dyads recruited from the community. Children were 7-13 years old (54.1 % male; 88.2 % Caucasian). Overall the model fit the data well. Analyses indicated that separate domains of perfectionism mediated separate relations between negative affect and child anxiety, worry, and depression symptoms. The findings suggest that domains of perfectionism may be implicated in specific paths between negative affect and child anxiety, depression, and worry. Implications and future directions are discussed.

“…The effects of perfectionism in treatment outcome have centered on anxiety in children with a particular focus on gifted children, test anxiety, and anxiety sensitivity (Mitchell et al 2013). Nobel et al (2012) examined the impact of perfectionism on a school-based treatment program for anxious and depressive symptoms in a nonclinical sample of school-aged children.…”

Treatment consisted of weekly 2 h CBT sessions for children and their parents over ten consecutive weeks.…”
