Volume 8 (1999): Counseling Gifted Adults

Counseling generally does not recognize the unique issues greater intelligence bestows. Still, a small scattering of gifted counselors do address just these issues. Examples included here are Annemarie Roeper, emphasizing the Self and agenda-less counseling; Clive Hazell, who works to uncover overexcitabilities buried under defensive armor (as does counselor Andrew Mahoney); Patricia Gatto-Walden, who insists that the social and spiritual selves be included with the physical, emotional, mental aspects of the whole person seeking help; Douglas Kutner, who knows what ADHD looks like in gifted adults; Paula Prober, who addresses the nitty-gritty realities of gifted motherhood; and Sharon Conarton, who deals with gifted men’s issues from a Jungian viewpoint. Research by Deborah Ruf examines gifted traits and attitudes, while Mary-Elaine Jacobsen illustrates how counselors can recognize traits of giftedness and urges the therapeutic community to gain expertise with gifted clients. Stephanie Tolan explains by means of “Dots and Spaces” why gifted people see only others as gifted, not themselves.
