OK, dags for et boktips. Springer forlag har gitt ut en ny utgave av boken Handbook on Giftedness in Children – Theory, Research, and Best Practice. Redaktør er Dr. Steven I. Pfeiffer.

Temaer i boken:
· The social and emotional world of the gifted.
· Emotional intelligence and the gifted.
· Perfectionism in gifted students.
· Depression and suicide among gifted children.
· Career counseling for the gifted and talented.
· Best practices in the identification and assessment of the gifted.

The Handbook of Giftedness in Children, Second Edition is a must-have resource for researchers, clinicians and related professionals, policy makers, and graduate students across such interrelated disciplines as child and school psychology, social work, and education policy and politics as well as special and general education, public health, school nursing, occupational therapy, psychiatry, school counseling, and family studies.

Dette ser ut som en bok med godt innhold, men den gjør dessverre et innhogg i bokbudsjettet. Kanskje kan den lånes fra et av våre biblioteker? Du finner mer om boken hos Springer forlag her.
