Description: Millions of people suffer from the tyranny of perfectionism -- whether they are driven by their own inner compulsion to do things "just right", intolerant of the shortcomings of others, or always failing to please a demanding boss, parent, or mate. Drawing on years of clinical experience and research with patients suffering from depression, panic attacks, eating disorders, and sexual dysfunction, clinical psychologist Monica Basco shows how perfectionism is often the underlying cause of these common problems.

In Never Good Enough, Dr. Basco explains that although some people feel compelled to achieve the impossibly perfect, it is possible to control the negative aspects of perfectionism and even use them as positive motivators for success. Basco has developed simple and easy-to-understand techniques for change -- based on the principles of Cognitive Behavior Therapy -- for dealing with this common, yet misunderstood personality trait. Her real-life case examples combined with self-guided questionnaires and worksheets teach the most effective ways for readers to overcome the distorted beliefs and self-defeating behavior that keep them from success and happiness. This book will convince them that being good enough is within their reach.
