Handbook of giftedness in children: Psychoeducational theory, research, and best practices
Abstract
Mention "special needs children", and most people think of students struggling to overcome learning and physical disabilities as well as problem behaviors that interfere with achieving full academic potential. But there is a hidden population of special needs children--the gifted and talented--and their teachers, parents, and other professionals are often not well equipped to respond to their unique academic and developmental needs. In one comprehensive resource, the Handbook of Giftedness in Children brings together leading experts from the fields of psychology and education, combining theory and applied empirical research on such crucial topics as conceptualization, types of intelligence, developmental considerations, and ethical and legal concerns. Particular attention is given to social and family contexts, and evidence-based strategies and interventions offer solid guidelines on assessment, curriculum design, and encouraging and nurturing talent--from preschool through adolescence. Sample topics include: • Approaches to screening and assessment, including IQ and other tests • The gifted child's social world, from peer relationships to gender issues • Special issues of gifted but disadvantaged students • Problems and interventions specific to families with a gifted child • Career counseling, planning, and mentorship • Counseling the gifted child and working therapeutically with the family This volume is an essential resource for anyone working with gifted and talented children, including clinical child and school psychologists, educators and other allied professionals as well as child psychiatrists, family therapists, social workers, and pediatricians and other healthcare professionals. It also serves as an invaluable guide for graduate students in these and related fields. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: cover)

Pero hay una población oculta de niños con necesidades especiales, los dotados y talentosos, y sus maestros, padres y otros profesionales a menudo no están bien equipados para responder a sus necesidades académicas y de desarrollo únicas. En un recurso integral, el Manual de Superdotación en Niños reúne a los principales expertos de los campos de la psicología y la educación, combinando la teoría y la investigación empírica aplicada sobre temas cruciales como la conceptualización, los tipos de inteligencia, las consideraciones de desarrollo y las preocupaciones éticas y legales. Se presta especial atención a los contextos sociales y familiares, y las estrategias e intervenciones basadas en la evidencia ofrecen pautas sólidas sobre la evaluación, el diseño del currículo y el fomento y fomento del talento, desde la educación preescolar hasta la adolescencia. Los temas de muestra incluyen: • Enfoques para la detección y evaluación, incluyendo el coeficiente intelectual y otras pruebas • El mundo social del niño superdotado, desde las relaciones entre pares hasta los problemas de género • Problemas especiales de estudiantes superdotados pero desfavorecidos • Problemas e intervenciones específicas de las familias con un niño superdotado • Orientación profesional, planificación y tutoría • Asesoramiento al niño superdotado y trabajo terapéutico con la familia Este volumen es un recurso esencial para cualquier persona que trabaje con superdotados y talentosos niños, incluidos psicólogos clínicos infantiles y escolares, educadores y otros profesionales aliados, así como psiquiatras infantiles, terapeutas familiares, trabajadores sociales, pediatras y otros profesionales de la salud. También sirve como una guía invaluable para los estudiantes de posgrado en estos y otros campos relacionados.
