This extensively revised and updated 2nd edition of Andrew P. Hills’ edited collection The Psychology of Perfectionism in Sport, Dance, and Exercise (Routledge) offers a comprehensive account of the latest research and practice issues relating to perfectionism in sport and, however to a much lesser degree, in dance and exercise. The conspicuous paucity of perfectionism perspectives relating to dance is the only point of strong criticism in Sara Daniels’ otherwise highly appreciative review.

Adam, Abimbola O. Eke, Leah J. Ferguson.
