Description
Our work in gifted education has largely ignored the essential unity of body-mind-spirit. To truly respond to the fullness of the gifted experience we must include cognitive, physical, emotional, instinctual, aesthetic, moral, social, spiritual and talent-based dimensions. Research in neuropsychology, mind-body dynamics, and advanced development combine with Dabrowski's and Roeper's work while embracing the remarkable insights of Integral Psychology (the so-called fifth wave in Psychology). Interactive and provocative this presentation offers preventative strategies and a fresh, stimulating perspective for promoting optimal development. Parents, teachers and mental-health practitioners can all use this multidimensional, dynamic framework designed specifically for these extraordinary learners.
