I enjoyed your paper and see the ideas as something to be explored. Are there measures that relate perfectionism to performance anxiety?. The reason I ask is that I understand performance anxiety can be related to social anxiety disorder (SAD) through Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale. SAD of course is a useful construct in that it is diagnosable disorder on DSM (meaning 3rd party reimbursement is possible). Unfortunately perfectionism is not. Other interesting facts which I'm sure you'd be aware is that SAD is linked to OCD and both are treated with CBT. Kind regards, Mark
