  • Mental health providers in schools and the community are likely to see gifted clients who have high ability in one or more domains, and who represent a range of achievement levels, concerns, and contexts. This chapter underscores the importance of not only being knowledgeable about the potential impact of giftedness on a presenting issue, development, or wellbeing, but also of approaching practice accordingly. When giftedness is involved, providers should communicate respect for cognitive and affective aspects (Peterson, 2015). However, other areas are also discussed, such as therapist postures and biases, perspectives related to case conceptualization, clinically based theories important for practice, and approaches. Throughout, counseling refers to what helping professionals do, whether they are school psychologists, school or mental health counselors, counseling or clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, family therapists, or social workers. The phrase characteristics associated with giftedness refers to heightened sensitivity to environmental stimuli because of rapid information-processing (Mendaglio, 2007), anxiety (Tsui & Mazzocco, 2006), overexcitabilities (Probst & Piechowski, 2012), intensity (Daniels & Piechowski, 2009), and asynchronous development (Silverman, 2013), all of these are especially pertinent to social and emotional development and counseling practice.
