  • Comments on an article by Albert Zieglera & Shane N. Phillipson (see record 2012-16824-002). Current gifted education clearly has its problems as outlined by Ziegler and Phillipson. The focus on personal traits and the assumption of an autocatalytic development of gifts into extraordinary achievement has not been proved a valid approach for designing effective supportive measures. At least one of the reasons proposed by Ziegler and Phillipson—lacking consideration of the very individual contexts the gifted persons find themselves in—is also acknowledged by counselors in the field of giftedness. To sum up, all counseling centers show at least tendencies towards systemic counseling strategies. Obviously, these principles are viewed as essential to reach long-term effects in fostering giftedness. Despite this practical need for a holistic–interactive theoretical approach common theories of giftedness do not explain the complex process of talent development in a realistic way. Gifted education as well as counseling practice show the need for a paradigm shift which has already begun.But the empirical and theoretical foundation must extend dramatically to ensure the required professional standards an educational system should fulfill.
