Ackerman, C. M. (1997). Identifying gifted adolescents using personality characteristics: Dabrowski's overexcitabilities. Roeper Review, 19(4), 229-236. "This exploratory study of 79 high school students examined overexcitability assessment as a potential method for identifying giftedness. Overexcitability (an intensified way of experiencing the world) can occur in five areas: psychomotor, sensual, imaginational, intellectual, and emotional. The measure of overexcitability differentiated gifted and nongifted students, although 35 percent of nonidentified subjects had similar profiles to gifted subjects, suggesting potential giftedness."  DWB

Roeper Review, 31(2), 81-95. doi: 10.1080/02783190902737657 The purpose of this article is to present Dabrowski's theory of positive disintegration (TPD; Dabrowski, 1964) in a thorough and accessible manner so that those in the gifted community can better understand it and its usefulness to the field of gifted studies. The article goes beyond what has typically been presented in recent research literature on the theory and discusses the major theoretical elements and how they are interconnected, to give a taste of the theory's complexity. In the article, levels of development, developmental dynamisms, overexcitabilities, and other foundational aspects of the theory are described. In addition, the author provides examples of how TPD has already been used with gifted populations and challenges the reader to look at the interdisciplinary applications that exist beyond the boundaries of gifted studies. DWB

The purpose of this study was to examine the personality characteristics of gifted and talented high school students as measured by the Overexcitability Questionnaire (OEQ) to gain a better understanding of the manifestations associated with extreme scores, those at least three standard deviations from the mean of the group. Additional data were collected from the Myers-Briggs Type Indicatorreg;, the High School Personality Questionnaire, the Rokeach Value Survey, high school and college transcripts, and in-depth interviews with the participants and people of significance to them in order to present the five life-story case studies and cross-case analysis. The resulting description of a Tall Poppy is presented.  DWB

The ElemenOE is a Likert-scaled observation checklist developed in this study to measure 5 personality characteristics in elementary school children, with predictive validity for identifying giftedness. The characteristics, named "overexcitabilities," are described within the context of Dabrowski's Theory of Positive Disintegration. Five scholars of Dabrowski's theory rated an initial 100 items for content validity. The 61 strongest items comprised the pilot instrument, which teachers used to describe 373 students. Exploratory factor analysis using varimax rotation found factors that related to the 5 OEs. Items with loadings of less than .5 were eliminated, thus creating the 30-item ElemenOE. Teachers used the ElemenOE to describe 171 gifted and nonidentified children. A discriminant analysis yielded on function that significantly discriminated between groups. The ElemenOE classified 76% of gifted students and 42% of nonidentified students as have similar OE profiles. These results indicate that, with revisions, the ElementOE may be useful in identifying gifted students who are missed by traditional identification measures.  DWB

What happens throughout life to make some people selfish and individualistic and others giving and caring? For example, how can some people do things like take advantage of the poor or elderly but not feel guilty about it, while others would never consider such behavior? Why do some people feel they have to pick on others to make themselves feel superior while others do not? Is it due to differences in education, family influences, gender, self-efficacy, feelings of moral outrage, encounters with crisis or other social forces? In addition, where do people fall in the continuum of emotional morality? Using a computer-aided qualitative data analysis program, C-I-SAID, this dissertation ranks the text of 95 respondents into five levels of emotional development as described by Dabrowski (1967; 1972) and Dabrowski, Kawczak, and Piechowski (1970). Few people exhibit the higher levels of moral emotions, levels four and five. Eighty percent of the population will never reach the higher levels of development that foster the personality ideal that moral exemplars such as Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Eleanor Roosevelt and Martin Luther King Jr. exhibit (Dabrowski 1967). Their emotional depth, compassion, intensity, and devotion attest to the fact that they are excellent examples of emotionally gifted beings (Piechowski 1997). At the lower end of the spectrum, examples of level one personalities include people who display the most selfish and self-serving behaviors such as the crude cases of Scott Peterson and Ray Caruth who have been accused of killing the pregnant mothers of their children for selfish gains. In assessing the development of moral emotions in a sample of 95 respondents, the majority of respondents rank at level two. No respondents rank at level five, and only two respondents rank at level four. Eight variables, emotional, imaginational, and intellectual overexcitability, chaos, moral imperatives, positive states, sadness and aspirations are positively and significantly correlated with the C-I-SAID level of development of moral emotions. Sensual and psychomotor overexcitability, family influences, education, gender, and age are not correlated with level of moral emotional development, but more research is needed to assess the impact of additional variables.  DWB

Brennan, T., & Piechowski, M. M. (1991). A developmental framework for self-actualization: Evidence from case studies. Journal of Humanistic Psychology, 31(3), 43-64. This study presents a theoretical framework for personal growth leading to self-actualization, and case studies of individuals engaged in such growth. Maslow's description of self-actualizing people and Dabrowski's theory of emotional development are brought together for this purpose. We show that self-actualizing people can be found by means of an instrument for assessing levels of emotional development. People who are assessed at or near Dabrowski's Level 4 meet the criteria of self-actualizing growth. The degree of self-actualization can be assessed with the intensive interview guide developed for this purpose. The interview guide successfully met the objectives of this study. We have found that our self-actualizing individuals share a number of characteristics in common. They have a similar outlook and concern for humanity and its future. They have intensity, energy, and the persistence to work toward high ideals and a capacity to inspire others toward similar ideals. In their life histories, they share childhood giftedness, emotionally difficult and disruptive life experiences, and intense life-affirming experiences.  DWB

In the research described in the previous sections of this chapter, several relevant findings were reported: (a) an association between the presence of the allele 7 of the dopamine receptor DRD4 gene and the creativity index; (b) an association between the polymorphic variation of the serotonin-transporter/promoter region gene and emotional overexcitability; and (c) and association between the polymorphic variation of the DRD4 and sensual overexcitability. These associations do not implicate causality; however, they suggest a promising starting point for further molecular genetic exploration of the creative potential. The contribution of a single gene for a complex trait is small, other genes (with additive and no-additive effects) and other environmental and sociocultural factors might be involved. Multiple neuromental processes occur during creative acts. When evaluating the activation of specific brain areas during creative performance, it was found that figural and verbal creativity indexes correlated with CBF in specific areas in both cerebral hemispheres; these areas are involved in multimodal processing, in complex cognitive functions (such as imagery, memory, and novelty processing among others) and in all levels of emotion processing. This suggests that creativity is performed by a highly distributed bilateral brain system. The brain-culture interactions, and the gene-environment interactions as well, are fascinating and challenging issues; creativity involves both sociocultural and psychobiological complex processes; therefore research on creativity could be a promising field that would lead us to increase our understanding of these topics. Neuroscience and molecular genetics offer rich possibilities to explore further the creative process. This knowledge is not separate from the experience of creating and could provide significant data for other researchers interested in creativity in various disciplines. DWB

Lists the five overexcitabilities and goes on: "In Piechowski's theory, there are five levels of personality development from lowest to highest: Level (1) self-centered; Level (2) inner fragmentation and conforming to expectations of others; Level (3) vulnerable autonomy; Level (4) self-actualization, and Level (5) universal compassion and self-sacrifice" (p. 344).  DWB

Cross, T. L. (1996). Psychological autopsy provides insight into gifted adolescent suicide. Gifted Child Today Magazine, 19, 22-25. A study examined the suicides of three gifted adolescents who had attended a state-funded, residential high school for academically talented 11th and 12th grade students in a Midwestern state. A psychological autopsy, which can be used as a posthumous evaluation of the mental, social, and environmental influences on suicide victims, was conducted. Psychological autopsies were designed to assess a variety of factors, including the behaviors, thoughts, feelings, and relationships of victims. Data were collected through interviews with people who had significant relationships with the victims and from archival information relating to each victim. Themes and issues that may be valuable in the prediction of suicide within similar groups--commonalities with adolescent suicide in the general population, commonalities among the three cases related to their giftedness, and themes emerging across the three cases identified in the study are discussed. DWB

quote: Elizabeth Meckstroth's chapter "Complexities of Giftedness: Dabrowski's Theory" in Part V: Meeting Social and Emotional Needs to Effect Growth, is another that I would want new teachers of the gifted or parents frustrated by their child's "oddities" to read. Dabrowski's description of the overexcitabilities many gifted children (and adults) exhibit may help to alleviate some of the concerns and frustrations parents and teachers have. As I read this chapter, I wondered how many children are on Ritalin because they exhibit Dabrowski's psychomotor overexcitability. "The psychomotor overexcitability has been found to be the one of Dabrowski's classifications that is the most significantly correlated with high intelligence" (p. 296).  DWB

Paper presented by Dabrowski at a meeting titled "The Value of Psychotic Experience", Esalen, Big Sur, California, during the summer of 1968. 6 pages. This is a paper discussing the work of Drs. Julian Silverman, R. D. Laing and John Perry (a Jungian analyst from California). R. D. Laing was to attend but did not. See Anderson, (1983, p. 216), for a reference to this meeting. Anderson, W. (1983). The Upstart Spring. Reading MA: Addison Wesley Pub. Co.. The Esalen web page is http://www.esalen.org/ Here is an account from their old page: [a] series of workshops and seminars entitled The Value of Psychotic Experience, designed to integrate and extend the theories of John Perry, R. D. Laing, Fritz Perls, and Kazimierz Dabrowski.
A biography of Julian Silverman is also given at: http://www.esalen.org/air/essays/julian_silverman.htm Julian Silverman, a beloved Esalen teacher and former Esalen general manager, passed away in April 2001. Julian Silverman was one of Esalen's brightest and most prolific spirits. In 1965 he came to us as a rising star at the National Institutes of Mental Health, having authored (at 32) more than fifty papers on subjects ranging from perceptual style to altered states to schizophrenia and shamanism. In the first years of his involvement with Esalen, he and Richard Price conceived a landmark study of new approaches to the treatment of schizophrenia, which began in 1968 at the Agnews State Hospital in California. Julian was chief on-site researcher for the project, where he also conducted a study of Rolfing that stands today as one of the finest pieces of research ever conducted on a somatic discipline. Julian was one of the most visionary and wide-ranging research psychologists of the twentieth century.  DWB

Daniels, S. (1998). A kaleidoscope view: Reflections on the creative self. Roeper Review, 20(3), 154-158.  The characteristics of creative individuals are described. Creative individuals tend to be aware of their own creative abilities; to be independent; to take risks; to be energetic, persistent, committed, and motivated; to be curious and questioning; to be humorous; to be highly perceptive; to be artistic; to be imaginative; to require extended periods of privacy and solitude; to be open-minded; and to be drawn to complexity. The interaction of these characteristics and the creative tension produced by the coexistence of seemingly disparate pairs of these traits, the dialectical nature and extremity of the creative personality, bipolar mood disorder and its implications for the optimal functioning of the creative personality, and the cognitive and emotional complexity of the creative personality are discussed.  DWB

Feeney, D. J., Jr. (1996). Purposeful Self: Accessing Sensory Motifs as Empowerment in Flow States and Clinical Interventions, Journal of Humanistic Psychology, 36, 94-115. The idea is presented that each human being has an inherent life purpose operating as a basic guide. As we live true to this purpose, we experience harmony, joy, and empowerment. IT access and experience life purpose, we need to attend to our sensory systems (i.e., visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) as manifest in flow states. An individual's purpose is primarily expressed in what may be called a sensory motif, a unique way of combining and organizing his or her senses manifesting that person's unique character. Sensory motifs are highly visible in flow states. Use of sensory motifs as clinical interventions is illustrated in five clinical cases. It is concluded that to live with purpose and meaning in one's life involves discovering and gaining access to one's sensory motif.  DWB

Fletcher, H. (2001, September 6). Touched by an angel; The Bright Stuff. Westword Magazine (Denver), 34, 35, 37, 38, 40, 42. (cover story) This is the story of Justin Chapman, an apparent child prodigy that Linda Silverman tested at an IQ of 298. Dr. Silverman presented the child as an example of a new species of human sent from heaven to reform the earth. Unfortunately, the child turned out to be a fraud, his mother coaching him on the tests. Also see Konigsberg, E. (2006).
Below are PDF links to the Denver magazine story and to the subsequent debunking in the New York Times which appeared March 2, 2002. Finally, an update on the case is provided from the Rocky Mountain News, June 5, 2008.
Here is a brief excerpt from the Denver magazine "Gifted children are otherworldly, Linda Silverman says. The challenge is helping them thrive here on earth." "Silverman and her staff have identified 631 children with IQs above the genius level of 160. More than a hundred have exceeded 180; thirty have topped 200. Within the next ten years, Silverman says, these children could change the world. And they won't wait for adults to do it. 'These are not like kids I met twenty years ago,' she says. 'We call them 'The New Children.' We've never seen anything like them. The impossible is becoming possible. In my heart of hearts, I believe we're witnessing the evolution of human consciousness.'"

Flint, L. J. (2001). Challenges of identifying and serving gifted children with ADHD. Teaching Exceptional Children, 33(4), 62-9. The challenges of identifying and serving gifted children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are discussed. Diagnosing gifted children with ADHD is not simple and may be complicated by the psychological overexcitabilities often present in creatively, academically, intellectually, or otherwise gifted people. In addition, the negative behavioral manifestations of ADHD may keep these children from performing well on group tests. Educators should place gifted children with ADHD in classrooms where expectations are high and teaching is holistic, relevant, challenging, and meaningful.

Quote: In the field of gifted education, suffering is counseled away and prevented, even, through professional intervention, and growth is channeled into the narrow parameters acceptable at school. Even proponents of the most radical and broadest view of human development in the field, Dabrowski's theory of emotional development (Dabrowski & Piechowski, 1977; Piechowski, 1991), which honors a certain sort of inner conflict and certain empathic perceptions of others' suffering as a necessary phase of growth, are, when they recommend programs and courses of action, as school-bound as everyone else (e.g., Silverman, 1993). The difference between the Glasses and the field of gifted education lies in the respect they pay to moral suffering, which reflects the stakes for which each is playing.  DWB

Recent articles on the gifted self are characterized by theoretical confusion and lack of definitional clarity. This article, anchored in current self psychology theory, defines the self experience as the person's subjective experience of organization and meaning, the maintenance of which is crucial to normal functioning. Interactions with others are a formative part of the self experience. Traits of giftedness, and the reactions of others to these, contribute to the gifted self experience. Social and emotional problems of giftedness, such as those that arise with asynchronous development and perfectionism, are based on a compromised sense of cohesion and unity of the self experience.  DWB

The Children's Self-Report and Projective Inventory (CSRPI) is a relatively new tool that can be used for evaluating the social and emotional needs of gifted children. The CSRPI is an individually administered, multimethod instrument intended for all children aged 5 to 12 years, but it has been especially useful in the assessment of gifted and talented students. The inventory consists of eight components utilizing self-report and projective measures, including four drawing tasks, two self-report measures, and two verbal projective tasks. A case study outlining the use of the CSRPI is provided, showing background information, test/behavioral observations, and an interpretation of the results.  DWB

Gust-Brey, K., & Cross, T. L. (1999). An examination of the literature base on the suicidal behaviors of gifted students. Roeper Review, 22(1), 28-35. This article involves an examination of the literature concerning suicide among gifted adolescents. Background is provided concerning the historical overview of the field of suicidology and the theory on suicide. The literature on suicide among adolescents in general is overviewed, and the literature concerning suicide among the gifted is examined in more depth. Lastly, the literature on the role schools can play in suicide prevention and intervention is examined due to the impact educational institutions can have on the lives of students, including the gifted. What is apparent from this review is that the knowledge about suicide among adolescents has grown dramatically since the conception of the field of suicidology. However, the literature directly concerned with the topic of suicide among gifted adolescents is filled with much conjecture rather than empirically sound research. At this time there is no significant research to support the claim that the rates of attempted or completed suicide among the gifted differ from rates on nongifted adolescents, but research does indicate that suicide occurs among the gifted population. It is also apparent that suicide is occurring among the gifted at a rate which necessitates school personnel to have the ability to recognize warning signs in an effort to help students and deter loss of lives.  DWB

Differences in the self-actualization of men and women were investigated in this study. Ivy League men researched by John Gowan (1972) were compared to University of Michigan women who resided in the Martha Cook (MC) dormitory between 1950-1970. Gowan concluded that the men were caught in the parental stage or the hobbies, art, and travel stage and did not progress to actualization of their talent. In contrast, over twice as many women were self-actualized using Gowan's definition of actualization. Moreover, three times as many women were considered accomplished, while only two percent were in the hobbies, art, and travel stage, as compared to 13 percent of the men. Finally, only 15 percent of the women were classified as in the parental stage, while 27 percent of the men were considered family focused. A second part of the study compared two groups of the MC women to each other for differences between groups which might help explain why some women self-actualized in adult life while others did not.  DWB

Hogan, Candis Jean Hanson. The relationship of psychological intensities to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in kindergarten children. [Dissertation Abstract] Dissertation Abstracts International: Section B: The Sciences and Engineering. Vol 64(2-B), 2003, pp. 984.
Scope and method of study. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between psychological intensities (Dabrowski, 1964) and indicators of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) in terms of Barkley's theory. The seven factor scores plus the total score for the Kitano Parent Questionnaire (KPQ) and the five subscales for the ADHD Comprehensive Teacher's Rating Scale (ACTeRS) were used in simple correlations, t-tests, and simple linear regression analyses to test the hypotheses. Findings and conclusions. The Chronbach's Alpha on the KPQ was .87 for the total score, with other scales ranging from .71 to .42, except for Task Commitment, which was weakest at -.15 and showed no internal consistency reliability. All PKQ factors and total score were found to be significantly negatively correlated with the subscale of Hyperactivity, which indicates that as parents rated their children high in the psychological intensities, ratings in Hyperactivity would decrease, indicating problematic behavior. Five PKQ scores were significantly negatively correlated with Early Childhood, which indicates that when parents viewed their children high in these psychological intensities, they saw difficult behaviors in their children at a very young age. Three PKQ scores negatively correlated with Attention. When parents regarded their children as having the other two psychological intensities, they also considered them as having difficulties sustaining attention. Children with hyperactivity problems were perceived by their parents as having Dabrowski's psychological intensities, which are related to advanced developmental potential. No significant gender differences were found. Rather than being distinct, the constructs of these two theories were found to overlap.

Jackson, P. S. (1998a). Bright star -- black sky. A phenomenological study of depression as a window into the psyche of the gifted adolescent. Roeper Review, 20(3), 215-221.  This qualitative study investigated the lived experience of the depressive state of ten gifted adolescents. In-depth unstructured interviews were conducted, transcribed and analyzed to reveal the essence, structure and meaning of the depressive state for each of the subjects. The analysis revealed a complex stratum of influences fueling the depressive experience. At the core of the experience is the gifted teen's absolute need for knowledge for communion and for expression. The analysis revealed that the gifted adolescent is at risk for varying degrees of depression when any or all of these needs are stymied. In particular, meeting communion needs--for meaningful spiritual and emotional exchange--proved problematic for the gifted teen who is often isolated because of extraordinary innate cognitive and emotional complexity. The results from this study have strong implications for specific developmental support and for appropriate therapeutic intervention.  DWB

This article examines the nature and extent of depressive disorders in highly gifted adolescents based on current literature and data gathered from a phenomenological study, focus groups, and clinical records. Two case studies and clinical examples document the capacity of some highly gifted adolescents to mask even severe symptoms. Several factors appeared to contribute to this masking phenomenon, including shame for being incapacitated and unable to resolve their dilemma; depression's signature cognitive confusion, which disengaged their coping mechanisms; and fear of harming others with their toxic state. These findings raise questions about the efficacy of quantitative research instruments to determine actual cases of depressive disorder in this subgroup, as well as current research estimates of depression in the highly gifted population.  DWB

Jacobsen, M. (1999). Arousing the sleeping giant: giftedness in adult psychotherapy. Roeper Review, 22(1), 36-41. When the term gifted is used in casual conversation, it generally is assumed the discussion is about someone under the age of eighteen. Yet the attributes and concerns of the gifted do not disappear in adulthood, and at certain junctures in an adult's lifespan can become critical to an individual's well-being. As adults proceed through various stages of development, they inevitably seek a clearer sense of identity, integration, and purpose. Such tasks are replete with difficulties, particularly for those gifted adults whose drive toward realization is obstructed by mistaken self-concepts. Especially challenging to the counseling psychologist are clients who were identified as gifted children, but now believe their special abilities have somehow expired, who never were appropriately identified as gifted or educated about what giftedness means, and who suffer from anxiety, depression or relationship problems that are unknowingly related to lack of information and support as a gifted person. To further understandings of the nature of giftedness across the lifespan, this article offers a glimpse into the clinical "aha" experience of under-recognized giftedness in adults, and suggests methods for exploring and supporting a reunion with the gifted self.  DWB

James, W. (1899/1900). On Some Of Life's Ideals. New York: Henry Holt and Company.  Does not refer to Dabrowski. Contains an essay, On a Certain Blindness in Human Beings, that outlines a description very similar to Dabrowski's approach to overexcitability. This work is very rare, however the essays were added to the later book, Talks to teachers on psychology, a very popular and widely read book.

Roeper Review, 31(2), 113-122. doi: 10.1080/02783190902737681 Dabrowski's theory of positive disintegration describes patterns and explains mechanisms of human development and has been successfully applied to understanding of gifted individuals. This article shows how the concepts of chaos theory and self-organization such as the sensitivity to initial conditions, positive and negative feedback, bifurcation points, and attractors provide new insights into understanding the personality development of gifted adolescents. According to Dabrowski, positive disintegration is the mental development described by the process of transition from lower to higher levels of mental life and is stimulated by tension, inner conflict, struggle, anxiety, and despair. This article introduces a conceptual model of this process as the sequence of transitions from a point attractor (the primary integration) through a periodic attractor (the unilevel disintegration), to a chaotic attractor (the spontaneous multilevel disintegration), and continues through the process of self-organization to an emerging order (the organized multilevel disintegration) and finally to an order with increasing complexity (the secondary integration). DWB

These children tend to care about others, want to relieve pain and suffering or show advanced ability to think about such abstract ideas as justice and fairness. The beginnings of moral sensitivity are found in the development of empathy between child and caretaking parent. This is also the basis of identity formation and development of the self. This article also includes a discussion of how the phenomenon of asynchrony manifests in moral development of gifted children and the paradigms these children develop to give form to their moral concerns.  DWB

Lovecky, D. V. (1998). Spiritual sensitivity in gifted children. Roeper Review, 20(3), 178-83. Starting from an early age, some gifted children show evidence of spiritual sensitivity. These children understand the universality of spiritual concepts such as forgiveness of others, develop spiritual self-awareness through asking questions and finding spiritual problems to solve, develop a systematic philosophy of life and death, or are seekers of the transcendent in the universe, other people and themselves. Spiritual sensitivity encompasses those children who develop knowledge of spiritual concepts and examine belief systems in advance of age peers, those who act from a desire to relieve the suffering of others and those who show evidence of transcendent or mystical experiences. This article explores the concept of spiritual sensitivity, examines the role of asynchrony in the development of spiritual concerns, and offers examples of how gifted children experience these concerns in their everyday lives.  DWB

Mayer, J. D., Perkins, D. M., & Caruso, D. R. (2001). Emotional intelligence and giftedness. Roeper Review, 23(3), 131-7. This article examines the relation between concepts of emotional giftedness and emotional intelligence, and attempts to relate a person's level of emotional intelligence to the actual ways they cope with challenging social situations. Emotional intelligence and social behavior were explored in a pilot study with adolescents. Emotional intelligence was measured with the Multifactor Emotional Intelligence Scale (Mayer, Salovey, & Caruso, 1997), an ability-based measure of emotional perception, facilitation, understanding, and management. General intelligence was measured with the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Scale (Dunn & Dunn, 1981). Each of the 11 adolescents also answered questions about how he or she had handled a difficult social encounter. Those with higher emotional intelligence were better able to identify their own and others' emotions in situations, use that information to guide their actions, and resist peer pressure than others.  DWB

Cross-cultural encounters can provide an excellent opportunity forpersonal growth by placing us in situations where ourunderstanding of self and world, and of how we believe things "are" or "shouldbe," is severely challenged. In this article, the authors argue that inthe United States, the cultural dimension is often overlooked in our understanding of personal growth because U.S. individualism obscures the role of culture in the constitution of the self and that understanding this dimension makes a vital contribution to self understanding. They also view cross-cultural encounters aspotentially creative and draw on the psychology of creativity to explore the implications of this view. The authors conclude by arguing that to have the greatest effect, humanistic psychology must both return to its roots in existential-phenomenological psychology and philosophy and tackle its own understanding of the self as a culturally situated phenomenon.  DWB

Morelock, M. J. (1996). On the nature of giftedness and talent: imposing order on chaos. Roeper Review, 19, 4-12. In recent years, there has been a move away from IQ as the accepted gauge of "giftedness" with a concomitant embracing of multiple concepts of talent. Some in the field welcome this diversification, heralding the changes as portending a shift to a more humane and democratic view of human potential with "talent development for all children" becoming an inspired and laudable goal. Others decry what they see as too hasty a dismissal of the needs of "the gifted child." The field of gifted education thus finds itself in a morass of confusion. Fragmented by ideological differences and a lack of consensus regarding fundamental definitions, it has as well become charged with intense emotion. This article traces the development of the confusion enveloping the field today. It finds its roots in the very beginnings of the modern study of giftedness and talent and charts its evolution through to the establishment of two contemporary opposing Movements: the Talent Development Movement and the Columbus Group Movement. It is argued that these two Movements exemplify the culmination of two strands of research, theory and practice--"the gifted achiever" strand and "the gifted child" strand. Vygotskian theory is proposed as providing a conceptual framework which can accommodate what has been learned about giftedness and talent since the advent of IQ testing, resolve differences in the field by providing an overarching theoretical synthesis, and orient us toward future directions for research and practice.  DWB

The influential environmental and personality factors in the development of Hendrix's musical gift, including the role played by imagination and autodidactism with reference to Vygotky's theory on play, are a primary focus. Issues raised include the value of different musical education forms as they relate to the varieties of musical expression, and the usefulness of motivational and creative attributes as indicators of gifted potential.  DWB

Roeper Review, 31(2), 96-102. doi: 10.1080/02783190902737665 Dabrowski's ideas about personality development are not only a source of practical recommendations for assisting the development of persons of varied age but can also be an inspiration for research. The theory is exceptionally helpful in describing developmental phenomena. Cases of multilevel development were studied in autobiographies of 7 participants. Research results not only confirm the basic assumptions of the theory but are a fitting point of departure for further investigations of human development. This study showed that the beginnings of positive disintegration could be traced to between ages 5 and 7. In addition, an understanding adult plays a key role in the transition from unilevel to multilevel development, and religion and art play a significant role in multilevel development. DWB

Osborne, John, (1987). A Human Science Study of Learning about "Learning" Journal of Humanistic Psychology, 27, 485-500. Fourteen students in a graduate course on learning theories described their ideas about learning before and during the course. They were asked to comment upon the existential relevance of natural science and human science approaches to learning with particular reference to their intellectual and emotional reactions. Written protocols were thematically analyzed. The data indicated that all students shifted toward a more human science outlook on learning. Most found a theoretical home for the reservations, long held, about natural science learning. Most expressed surprise or unfamiliarity with existential-phenomenological ideas. The concept of coconstitutionality was the focus of considerable reflection. Most students reported that they experienced the learning process of the course in ways similar to those described in references studied in the course.  DWB

Roeper Review, 31(2), 103-112. doi: 10.1080/02783190902737673 Cases of secondary integration (Level V), the most advanced level of development through positive disintegration, are easily found within the religious sphere. To find a secular case of secondary integration presents a greater challenge. The life of Peace Pilgrim (1908-1981), known personally to a great many people, appears to be such a case. The course of her personality development appears to reflect successive phases of multilevel growth. This article examines Dabrowski's concept of secondary integration, personality ideal, and Peace Pilgrim's state of inner peace in an attempt to arrive at some purchase on these concepts. This study also raises the subject of spiritual experience as personal experience unbounded by systems of religious beliefs. This stratospheric study does carry actual implications for gifted education. DWB

Rea, D. W. (2000). Optimal motivation for talent development. Journal for the Education of the Gifted, 23(2), 187-216. A theory of optimal motivation for the development of talent in gifted children is presented. According to the optimal motivation model, talent development can be seriously undermined by a lack of motivation and the full development of talent requires optimal motivation. Optimal motivation is a flow experience that absorbs students so much that they lose track of time and feel their efforts to be effortless. The ideal conditions under which students are most likely to experience flow can be analyzed using a generalized expectancy-value theory and reversal theory. From this analysis, a fully coherent picture of flow as serious fun emerges. Serious fun ensures that students sustain very high levels of exciting challenge and relaxing mastery of talent interests without dropout or burnout.  DWB

The writer discusses the personality issues and personal choices that gifted and talented females face as they try to realize their potential. The single greatest issue for gifted, ambitious females has been identified as the ethic of care, along with belief in the importance of relationships. Other key issues are related to a sense of self and self-efficacy; multipotentiality; resilience; fear of success; lack of planning or poor planning; hiding or doubting abilities and feeling different; the imposter syndrome; confusion about effort and ability; perfectionism; conflicting messages from different environments; unrealistic expectations or lowered aspirations; self-doubt, self-criticism, and comparisons; religious training; loneliness; physical attractiveness; confusion about passivity, assertiveness, ambition, and accommodation; and the interaction between career and personal lives.  DWB

Reis, S. M, & McCoach, D. B. (2002). Underachievement in gifted and talented students with special needs. Exceptionality, 10, 113-125. Abstract: Talented students underachieve for many reasons and in many different circumstances. Unfortunately, there is no panacea for how to reverse underachievement in students whose talents are demonstrated in diverse ways. High-potential students with special needs are likely to experience underachievement as efforts to address their needs may focus more on remediation of difficulties and less on development of strength and talent. It is crucial for educators to differentiate between issues related to academic motivation and special needs related to students' disabilities that may be unrecognized by many classroom teachers. This article reviews research about twice-exceptional talented students who underachieve and provides general suggestions for interventions to address their academic talents and needs. Disabilities discussed include: hearing disabilities, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), behavioral problems, psychological disorders, and overexcitability.  DWB

Silverman, L. K. (1997). The construct of asynchronous development. Peabody Journal of Education, 72(3/4), 36-58. Part of a special issue on charting a new course in gifted education. The construct of asynchrony offers a child-centered perspective on giftedness that can guide parents, teachers, and counselors in the education of gifted children. Asynchrony has a strong theoretical foundation, is deeply rooted in the field of psychology, and enjoys a rich global heritage in the insightful work of Hollingworth, Terrassier, Dabroswski, and Vygotsky. Asynchrony is not a competitive concept or a source of envy. It stresses the vulnerability of gifted individuals, concentrates on the difficulties gifted individuals face fitting into society, offers insight into the phenomenological realities of gifted individuals and stresses the important role of parents, teachers, and counselors in the optimal development of gifted individuals. Gifted children are at serious risk for alienation if their unique needs are not recognized in early childhood and their developmental differences are not supported. Asynchrony offers an understanding of the inner experiences of gifted children and a sound framework for responding to these children's developmental differences.  DWB

Their heredity and environment are not fundamentally different from all the children we've encountered in the past. Yet there is a remarkable difference in these children from the children we've known in the past. The only explanation I can think of is evolution. I believe we are witnessing the evolution of the human species, and that this evolution is becoming apparent first among the gifted."  DWB

Silverman, L. K. (2007). Perfectionism: The crucible of giftedness. Gifted Education International, 23(3), 233-245. Perfectionism is the most misunderstood aspect of the personality of the gifted. The psychological field characterizes it in extremely negative ways, which may be counterproductive to the development of the gifted individual. There are positive as well as negative aspects of perfectionism, depending on how it is channeled. As one gains higher consciousness, perfectionism becomes a catalyst for self-actualization arid humanitarian ideals. Dabrowski's theory allows us to see how perfectionism changes in form at different levels of development. DWB

The writer considers how teachers can meet the socioemotional skills of talented teenagers. She identifies the problems that talented teenagers face, which include developmental needs, family and peer relations, and negative and harmful school cultures. She states that teachers can help these students by acting as role models, "pacing the match between challenges and skills," and perceiving the emerging needs of often insecure young people. She also offers a list of things that teachers can do to meet the needs of these teenagers.  DWB

Tieso, C. L. (2007b). Patterns of Overexcitabilities in Identified Gifted Students and Their Parents: A Hierarchical Model. Gifted Child Quarterly, 51(1), 11-22. The purpose of this study is to examine the underlying construct of overexcitabilities (OEs) and to identify individual and family-level factors that may explain gifted students' patterns of OEs. Data are collected from a convenience sample of identified gifted students (N = 143) and their parents (N = 161) using a Likert-type questionnaire, the Overexcitabilities Questionnaire II, developed to measure levels of the five intensities of the OEs. Multivariate and univariate analyses of variance and hierarchical linear modeling are used to differentiate between gender and age groups and to explain between and within-group variance on the five subscales of the OEs: Psychomotor, Intellectual, Imaginational, Sensual, and Emotional. Results suggest that there were significant differences between gender and age groups and that most of the variance among students on the OEs was explained by family membership. This study represents an important step in our understanding of affective characteristics of giftedness and creativity. DWB

Walsh, R. (1994). The Making of a Shaman: Calling, Training, and Culmination, Journal of Humanistic Psychology, 34, 7-30. Shamanism and especially the psychological health of shamans remain topics of considerable confusion. This article, therefore, examines the shamanic training process from a specifically psychological perspective. Much in this ancient tradition that formerly appeared arcane, nonsensical, or pathological is found to be understandable in psychological terms. The initial shamanic crisis is seen to be a culture-specific form of developmental crisis rather than being evidence of severe psychopathology. Commonalities are noted between certain shamanic training experiences and those of other religious traditions and various psychotherapies. Psychologically effective shamanic techniques are distinguished from merely superstitious practices and several shamanic techniques are seen to foreshadow ones now found in contemporary psychotherapies. DWB

The first is the results of clinical qualitative research on death awareness experience in adults, and the second is research procedures of clinical qualitative investigations based on a hermeneutical approach. The theoretical assumptions of this study are based on humanistic-existential psychology and life-span developmental psychology. Descriptions of the death awareness experience from 12 physically healthy women were obtained and analyzed using a hermeneutical approach. Three components of the death awareness experience were obtained: context of death, psychological phenomenon related to death of the self and closely related persons, and the impact of an awareness of the death experience on one's life.

This study compared the academic and learning characteristics of students with (a) Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD), (b) giftedness, and (c) giftedness with AD/HD, and examines specific a priori questions. The information reported by teachers, parents, and children was analyzed with a multiple-case design with constant comparative procedures within and across groups. The results indicated that giftedness conferred benefits related to specific talents but did not offer protection from the negative outcomes of AD/HD, such as inattention and homework problems. The learning and motivational profiles of each group were discussed in terms of implications for differential diagnosis and research and for teaching children with AD/HD and giftedness in general and special settings.

I. Overview of the contents, codes used, and of the sources of the material in this collection.

Introduction:

I was Dabrowski's last student in Edmonton in the late 1970s. After he died, I received his papers and kept them. Eventually, I collected other papers and bibliographies relating to Dabrowski's work and in 1991, I began to merge them into one master database.

I have attempted to conform to APA format as much as possible. I have tried to be as accurate as possible and to retain as much information as possible, but I am sometimes limited by the source information available to me. I will continue to incorporate new material and make corrections as required. Therefore, if you see mistakes, or if you are aware of omitted or new material, please let me know and I will correct/update the database.

III. Conferences, Workshops and Symposia Information:

There has been some confusion in the naming of the Dabrowski conferences:

Rationale for the Naming of Past Conferences:

An informal series of workshops have been offered over the years. There have also been two series of conferences; the first starting in 1970 was named the International Conference on the Theory of Positive Disintegration.

International Conference Series:

• First - Laval University, Quebec (1970)
• Second - Loyola College, Montreal (1972)
• Third - Miami, Florida (1980)
• Fourth - Warsaw (1987)
• Fifth - Fort Lauderdale, Florida (2002)

Biennial Conference Series:

When we met in Keystone, CO, in 1994, the group decided to meet every two years alternating between a Canadian location and an American location. Hence, when I hosted the next conference, held in Alberta in 1996, I called it the Second Biennial Conference.

• First - Keystone, Colorado (1994)
• Second - Banff (Kananaskis) Alberta, (1996)
• Third - Kendall College, Evanston, Illinois. (1998)
• Fourth - Mont-Tremblant, Quebec. (2000)
• Fifth - No conference in the biennial series was held this year, instead, Norbert Duda hosted the Fifth International Conference in Fort Lauderdale (2002).

The two streams merged in 2002.

At the meeting in Fort Lauderdale (2002), the group decided that the two conference series should be merged. It was suggested that in the future, International meetings be referred to as Congresses, National meetings could be referred to as Conferences and that regional meetings be called Workshops. It was decided that the next International meeting (2004) should be named:

The Sixth International Congress of the Institute for Positive Disintegration in Human Development

International Congress of the Institute for Positive Disintegration in Human Development Series

Sixth - Calgary, Alberta (2004)

• Seventh - Calgary, Alberta (2006)
• Eighth - Canmore, Alberta (2008)

Note: The Sixth International Congress 2003: In the Direction of Mature Personality Toward Positive Disintegration" was scheduled for Lublin, Poland. September 11 - 14, 2003. This meeting was planned but did not take place.

The Gifted Centre of the University of Calgary has kindly offered their sponsorship of these congresses to ensure their continuity. At the 2004 Congress, the group decided that we should maintain Calgary as a site for future meetings.
