Abstract
This article describes the development of the Almost Perfect Scale—Revised (APS—R). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and data exploring the reliability and construct validity of the subscales are provided. The results support the existence of 3 subscales with adequate internal consistencies and promising relationships with other relevant measures.

A new coefficient is proposed to summarize the relative reduction in the noncentrality parameters of two nested models and two estimators of the coefficient yield new normed (CFI) and nonnormed (FI) fit indexes.

It seems clear that the items in the Edwards Social Desirability Scale would, of necessity, have extreme social desirability scale positions or, in other words, be statistically deviant.

The BSI was developed from its longer parent instrument, the SCL-90-R, and psychometric evaluation reveals it to be an acceptable short alternative to the complete scale, and factor analytic studies of the internal structure of the scale contribute evidence of construct validity.

The worry questionnaire was found not to correlate with other measures of anxiety or depression, indicating that it is tapping an independent construct with severely anxious individuals, and coping desensitization plus cognitive therapy was found to produce significantly greater reductions in the measure than did a nondirective therapy condition.

Analysis of data from the TDCRP indicated that perfectionism began to impede therapeutic gain in approximately 2/3 of the sample, in the latter half of treatment, between the 9th and 12th sessions, and that this effect persisted 18 months after termination.

The present analyses indicate that the quality of the therapeutic relationship reported by patients early in treatment contributed significantly to the prediction of therapeutic change, and the extensive efforts to compare different manual-directed treatments need to be balanced by commensurate attention to interpersonal dimensions of the therapy process.
