Tassawuf is just a term like fiqh, masalih, tazkiyah etc...
Whether you call it tazkiyah or tassawuf it is essentially the same thing. However, in organized tassawuf a lot of shirk and bid'aat have crept in. Ibn Qayyim's magnum opus on tazkiyah "madarij as salikin", for instance, is a commentary/abridgement on Abdullah al-amsari al-harawi al-hanbali's masterpiece on tassawuf 'manazil al-sairin".
A contemporary wahhabi/hanbali treatise on tazkiyah which employs the same terms used in tassawuf (such as stations, states etc...) is "The Exquisite Pearl" by Shaykh abdurrahman as-sa'di (ra).
