= Final Topic and Sources = I have chosen to edit the article title Perfectionism (psychology). This article has been rated as C-Class on the project's quality scale. Since there is little to no information in the Treatment

section of the article, my goal is to expand this article by adding more background information, history, and results with the types of treatments used in relevance to the negative aspects of perfectionism.

Anorexia nervosa:

To help individuals differentiate if they have an eating disorder or a non-eating disorder, they can take a self-report instrument called the Questionnaire for Eating Disorder Diagnosis (QEDD) which has been used in several studies of anorexia nervosa. The level of perfectionism was found to influence individual’s long-term recovery from anorexia. Those who scored a normal range of perfectionism were able to have a faster recovery rate than patients who scored high in perfectionism.

Treatments:

Cognitive-behavioral therapy has been shown to successfully help perfectionists in reducing social anxiety, public self-consciousness, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) behaviors, and perfectionism.

Acceptance-based behavior therapy (ABBT) was demonstrated to have a major contribution to treat perfectionism from increasing awareness, increasing acceptance, and living a meaningful life. These practices were shown to help reduce anxiety, depression, and social phobia. This approach has been shown to be effective six months post to the therapy.

Peer Review for HannahJRose Sandbox Talk Page
I wrote: "Hey HannahJRose! I like the outline that you assembled on situationism. I agree that the background information and history could use more expansion. You should have more than enough information from the twelve sources that you have selected. The sources seem relevant. The article needs a lot of work, but I have confidence that you will make a significant improvement to it! - Jeremy Gallant"

= Peer Review = Hi Jeremy! I'm glad you'll be focusing on the treatment section of your article - it needs some serious work. The sources you've collected so far seem very relevant. The only recommendation I would make would be to add a bit more to the Psychological implications section, as I know there is quite a bit of literature on perfectionism and depression and anxiety. Good work! - Hannah Rose
