Research Summary:

Dr. Dunkley, based at the Institute of Community and Family Psychiatry at the Lady Davis Institute - Jewish General Hospital, is interested in the role of cognitive-personality vulnerability factors such as perfectionism in depression and anxiety. His research examines stress, coping, and emotion regulation processes that might explain why personal standards (PS) and self-criticism (SC) dimensions of perfectionism are instigating and/or maintaining factors of depressive and anxious symptoms. His recent research has tested a single-session explanatory feedback intervention that delivers individualized feedback on perfectionism and daily stress, coping, and affect processes.
