Abstract

Perfectionism among psychological practitioners is a common phenomenon, but a neglected topic in the research literature. This article presents data indicating that perfectionism is negatively related to both tolerance of ambiguity and satisfaction of conducting psychotherapy in a sample of 197 doctoral‐level, private‐practice psychologists. Results demonstrated that high, socially prescribed perfectionism and low tolerance of ambiguity are associated with reduced enjoyment of conducting psychotherapy. Several methods to self‐evaluate and moderate perfectionism in clinicians are offered. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Clin Psychol 57: 1543–1550, 2001.
