Counseling the Gifted - Andrew Mahoney

Academic underachievement. Workplace performance problems. Inflexible institutions. Talents developed fully, at the expense of the full self. In more than 15 years of working with gifted and talented people, I've seen many of them struggle with issues like these. As a result, I've become convinced that focusing on their identity as a gifted person -- and how that relates to the whole self -- is the foundation for their growth. Learning how people are gifted and understanding it in the context of family, friends and co-workers is always the first step to reaching full potential and leading more fulfilling lives.
