The Mental Health Research Speaker Series: Perfectionism, Stress, Coping, Emotion Regulation, and Well-Being

Offered by the Health and Well-Being Program

Over the past three decades, perfectionism has received increasing theoretical and empirical attention as a cognitive-personality factor that increases vulnerability to a wide range of psychological problems. This talk will highlight the importance of addressing maladaptive stress, coping, and emotion regulation processes for the prevention and treatment of mood problems in self-critical perfectionistic individuals.

This session is a part of The Mental Health Speaker Series which consist of McGill Faculty or graduate students presenting research and insights in the areas of mental health and well-being.
