Mary Thank you for your comments and insights. Perfectionistic people set unrealistic goals and when they fail in meeting them, experience self-criticism and blame. People with Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) have an anxiety disorder which causes them to have thoughts and ideas (obsessions), and/or behaviors that may make them feel obliged to do something (compulsions). Many people who have OCD also have perfectionistic tendencies and vice versa. CBT is a treatment that has been successful with a number of different types of problems including anxiety disorders. We are hoping to continue our research. Best Regards, Barbara
