Cognitive-behavioural Intervention in Diminishing Perfectionistic Self-presentation and Depression

Perfectionism is a multidimensional concept widely researched for the last 30 years. The empirical literature on the relationship of perfectionism and depression suggests the connection between these two. Perfectionistic self-presentation represents one of the sides of perfectionism which seems to be related with higher depressive symptoms. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the efficiency of a cognitive-behavioural intervention in reducing perfectionistic self- presentation and depressive symptoms on a sample of subjects (N = 64) which take part to a group therapy programs.
