| Description: |
This is Dr. Leta Hollingworth's classic set of case studies of 12 children above 180 IQ. For most of the 20th century, this book was the definitive work on profoundly gifted children. It is an absolute must-read for anyone who is raising, teaching, counseling, or assessing a profoundly gifted child. The book consists of detailed case studies of the 12 children, including early childhood developmental history; school history and adjustment; test performance on a variety of measures; examples of children's work; and, as far as was possible to trace, their progress into adulthood. The book concludes with chapters that summarize the findings and raise specific issues relating to schooling, leadership, creativity, and parenting. |
