Bell J~~Stanley N~~et al
This article aims to provide important insight into the potency that certain profiles of perfectionism can claim in the path to suicide by presenting three case studies from a British study of student suicide. Collectively, these case studies provide theoretical support for existing frameworks & are consistent with other literature which emphasizes those forms of perfectionism that engender severe self-criticism, self-doubt, & fear of failure as most destructive.
