Living with Intensity 

 
Understanding the Sensitivity, Excitability, and Emotional Development of Gifted Children, Adolescents, and Adults

[QUALITY PAPERBACK]

Author(s): Susan Daniels, Ph.D., Editor, Michael M. Piechowski, Ph.D., Editor

Gifted children and adults are often misunderstood. Their excitement is viewed as excessive, their high energy as hyperactivity, their persistence as nagging, their imagination as not paying attention, their passion as being disruptive, their strong emotions and sensitivity as immaturity, and their creativity and self-directedness as oppositional. This book describes these overexcitabilities, as well as strategies for dealing with children and adults who experience them. It also provides essential information on Dabrowski’s Theory of Positive Disintegration. Learn practical methods for nurturing sensitivity, intensity, perfectionism, and much more.
