Perfectionism has deleterious effects on developmental outcomes for children, youth, and adults. Despite this, there is controversy regarding the nature of perfectionism itself and whether it can be positive or negative. This article identifies key findings in the perfectionism literature, reviews current research literature on the conceptualizations and antecedents of perfectionism, and outlines concepts of family systems theory that help explain how perfectionism develops in families. Three models are proposed to explain the development of maladaptive perfectionism, socially prescribed and self‐oriented perfectionism, and other‐oriented perfectionism—all in the context of the family system. Implications for future theory development, research, and practices are discussed, emphasizing the role of resilient processes within and outside the family unit
