Abstract: | The study examined perfectionism, symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and depression, and peer relationships among
a clinical sample of 31 youth (age␣range 7–18 years) diagnosed with OCD. Using a correlational design, perfectionistic beliefs
accounted for significant variance in OCD symptoms, depressive symptoms, and difficulties in peer relationships for children
with OCD. One dimension of perfectionism, sensitivity to mistakes, was the most salient maladaptive aspect of perfectionism
for this sample whereas another dimension, contingent self-esteem, emerged as the most salient adaptive dimension. Implications
are discussed regarding the diagnosis, treatment, and developmental course of OCD among children and adolescents.
Portions of this study were presented at the 114th Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association (New Orleans,
