Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. If you practice like crap, you'll continue to play like crap.
The best technique I've learned is to just slow down. Reduce the tempo until you can play it perfectly, then play it perfectly, over and over. Gradually you can increase the tempo, so long as you maintain that perfect composure, then before long you'll be playing at normal tempo just right.
However, like you say, getting an outside perspective is always important, even if only from time to time.
