Gifts for the Gifted

Gifts for the Gifted

Abstract: Reviews the book, New Voices in Counseling the Gifted edited by Nicholas Colangelo and Ronald T. Zaffrann (1979). This is the first full-length book to deal with the counseling needs of the gifted is a sad commentary on the state of awareness that exists. The editors suggest that their book is aimed at school counselors, teachers, administrators, parents, counselor educators, and gifted individuals. Of the 38 articles, only 5 are devoted specifically to counseling, and this appears to be the major defect of the book. In summary, this book is valuable, but a more unified approach to counseling gifted children would still be welcome.
