Giftedness 101

Giftedness 101 dispels common myths about giftedness, challenges the view that eminence is the true signifier of giftedness, provides support for the twice exceptional, offers specific guidelines to parents and teachers, describes comprehensive assessment of the gifted, and focuses on the complex inner world of the gifted. In Giftedness 101, giftedness is defined as a psychological reality with powerful ramifications throughout the lifespan. A much-needed book on the psychology of giftedness rather than eminence, there are 37 pages of references to support the view that giftedness is a different way of experiencing.

This 290-page book, published by Springer Publishing, New York, passionately reflects Linda Silverman's 50 years of experience in the field.
