Basco customizes the CBT approach for ...

This book is a godsend!
I have struggled to get a handle on my perfectionism all my life. Dr. Ramirez's explanation of the idea that there are different types of perfectionism, and that people can be perfectionists in some areas but not others, really made sense to me.

For many years, I was mired in thoughts of my depression and loneliness and felt completely stuck. ...
