“…Two students have found signifi cantly higher Concern over Mistakes and Doubts about Actions scores in chronic fatigue syndrome samples compared to controls (Deary & Chalder, 2010;White & Schweitzer, 2000). Research has also found in a large chronic fatigue syndrome sample that Concern over Mistakes and Doubts about Actions are correlated with severity of fatigue (Kempke et al, 2011).…”

Abstract:The transdiagnostic approach to theory and treatment of psychological disorders is gaining increasing interest. A transdiagnostic process is one that occurs across disorders and explains their onset or maintenance. The purpose of this review is to provide evidence that perfectionism is a transdiagnostic process that it is elevated in anxiety disorders, eating disorders, depression, obsessive compulsive personality disorder and somatoform disorders. Data are also reviewed to show that perfectionism can explain aetiology as it is a prospective predictor of depression and eating disorders. Perfectionism is also demonstrated to predict poorer outcome to treatment for anxiety disorders, eating disorders and depression, suggesting the need for specific treatment of perfectionism. Evidence is provided to demonstrate that perfectionism can be successfully treated with cognitive behavioural therapy which results in reduction in psychopathologies. Clinical guidelines are outlined to assist in treatment planning for individuals with elevated perfectionism.Keywords: Perfectionism; transdiagnostic; anxiety; depression; eating disorder; somatoform disorder. El proceso transdiagnóstico del perfeccionismoResumen: El enfoque transdiagnóstico sobre la teoría y el tratamiento de los trastornos psicológi-cos está generando un interés creciente en la literatura. Un proceso transdiagnóstico es aquel que se da a través de los trastornos y explica su inicio o mantenimiento. El objetivo de esta revisión consiste en aportar evidencia sobre el perfeccionismo como un proceso transdiagnóstico que se encuentra elevado en los trastornos de ansiedad, los trastornos alimentarios, la depresión, el trastorno de personalidad obsesivo-compulsivo y los trastornos somatoformes. Revisamos la evidencia empírica para mostrar que el perfeccionismo puede explicar la etiología como predictor prospectivo de la depresión y los trastornos alimentarios. También se ha demostrado que el perfeccionismo predice un peor resultado terapéutico del tratamiento de los trastornos de ansiedad, los trastornos alimentarios y la depresión, sugiriendo la necesidad de un tratamiento específico del perfeccionismo. Proporcionamos evidencia para demostrar que el perfeccionismo puede ser tratado con éxito mediante terapia cognitivo conductual y que el tratamiento del perfeccionismo produce reducciones en un rango amplio de psicopatologías. Se describen directrices clínicas para asistir en la planificación del tratamiento en individuos con elevados niveles de perfeccionismo.Palabras clave: Perfeccionismo; transdiagnóstico; ansiedad; depresión; trastorno alimentario; trastorno somatoforme. In a recent review of transdiagnostic treatments for anxiety and depression (Craske, 2012), two forms of therapy were discussed. The fi rst was generic cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) approaches which focus on mechanisms related to managing threat situations and response to emotions. The second form of transdiagsnostic therapy included acceptance based approaches that tackle experienti...

“…Kempke, Van Houdenhove, et al (2011), for example, investigated the role of PC (concern over mistakes and doubts about actions) and PS (personal standards) on physical health in a sample of adult patients diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. Findings indicated that only PC were Chapter 7 significantly and positively associated with poorer physical health among patients and that this association was mediated by depression.…”

OverviewIn this chapter, we advocate for greater attention to be directed at studying the influence of perfectionism on health and illness. It is from this perspective that our chapter presents a critical examination of the role of perfectionism in health outcomes. Although our analysis focuses primarily on how and why perfectionism relates to health symptoms, we also examine evidence linking perfectionism with difficulties in coping with chronic illness-an assessment that highlights how excessive striving for perfection may be a liability in the context of ongoing health limitations. We then focus on key mechanisms and processes that render certain perfectionists particularly vulnerable to health problems. A significant limitation plaguing the perfectionism and health field is that, aside from a few noteworthy exceptions, research has been largely atheoretical. To this end, we propose two potential pathways that may help further our understanding of why perfectionism might be implicated in poor health outcomes, namely stress and health behaviors.

Forfattere:Avdeling rehabilitering og sjeldne tilstander Trykk og layout: Andvord Grafisk as forord Helsedirektoratet har «følge med ansvar» for å vurdere utvikling av tjenestetilbud og om dette står i forhold til pasientgruppenes behov.På bakgrunn av erfaringer fra kontakter med pasienter, pårørende og fagpersoner er direktoratet gjort kjent med at barn, unge og voksne med CFS/ME og deres pårørende møter store utfordringer som i for liten grad ivaretas av tjenesteapparatet.Helsedirektoratets mål med denne veilederen er å bidra til faglig forsvarlighet, god kvalitet på tjenestene og tilnaermet likhet i tilbudet uansett hvor man bor som pasient med CFS/ME.Å gi helsetjenester til brukere som ikke har en klar og entydig anerkjent årsak til sin sykdom, stiller store krav til faglig kvalitet, profesjonalitet og utøvelse av tjenestetilbudet. Tidlig og riktig diagnose er viktig i et pasientforløp.Mange pasienter oppgir at de får et bedre liv når de har fått korrekt diagnose, aksepterer sykdommen og laerer seg gode mestringsstrategier for de utfordringer CFS/ME kan gi.Veilederen er utarbeidet slik at den favner et bredt felt av temaer.Veilederen bygger på dagens kunnskap og erfaring, de ordninger som er etablert i dag og gjeldende rettsregler. Det er lagt vekt på at dette først og fremst skal vaere en faglig veileder for helsepersonell.Veilederen vil bli revidert i takt med ny kunnskap.
