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.

Cognitive behaviour therapy in sport is all the rage, as witnessed by two recent publications from Routledge: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in Sport and Performance: An Applied Practice Guide by Paul McCarthy, Sahen Gupta & Lindsey Burns, and Applying Cognitive Behavioural Therapeutic Approaches in Sport edited by Martin J.

Back in the 1950s, Albert Ellis developed a therapeutic approach, considered the first cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which he named rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT). Today, REBT is gaining renewed interest, and Martin Turner’s brand new The Rational Practitioner: The Sport and Performance Psychologist’s Guide To Practicing Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (Routledge) is a sign of that. Our reviewer is Stuart Carrington, and to his mind Turner does an excellent job presenting and explaining REBT.
