Rezensionen

"The revised edition of The Psychology of Perfectionism in Sport, Dance, and Exercise is a timely and valuable contribution to the understanding of the rise of perfectionism in diverse physical activity settings. Professor Andrew Hill has done an excellent job in this second edition by providing new conceptual and methodological insights, updating the evidence base, as well as offering important practical suggestions to develop interventions that address the negative consequences of perfectionism for physical and mental functioning. I highly recommend this book to students, researchers, and practitioners."

"This second edition of The Psychology of Perfectionism in Sport, Dance, and Exercise by Professor Andrew Hill and his team of contributors is an essential read for researchers, coaches, exercise enthusiasts, as well as psychology practitioners. The book skilfully maps out the latest evidence related to the nature, development, and consequences of perfectionism in its various guises. It also thoughtfully presents evidence-informed recommendations for those working with athletes, exercisers, and dancers who exhibit perfectionism. A highly recommended read!"

Professor Mark Beauchamp, University of British Columbia, Canada

"Edited by one of the world-leading researchers on perfectionism in performance domains, and comprising a variety of insightful, critical, and novel chapters written by leaders in the field, this book should be a go-to resource for any academics or practitioners interested in understanding this complex and important topic. Taking a critical and reflective approach to the field, the text provokes you to reconsider perceptions pertaining to perfectionism and re-evaluate your understanding of both research and practice as it pertains to perfectionism."
