Perfectionism - Enemy or Friend of Progress

Over 70 years ago Winston Churchill said: “They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds.” To this day, we still grapple with whether perfectionism is desirable or not. This talk will explore the psychology of perfectionism and its harmful impacts on our young people.

Tracey Wade has worked as a clinician and researcher in mental health for over 30 years. She has cowritten 3 books on cognitive behaviour therapy for eating disorders and perfectionism and has over 300 publications in peer reviewed journals. In 2015 she was elected a Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia. Over 2024 to 2028 she is supported by a National Health and Medical Research Council Investigator Grant 2025665.
