Misdiagnosis and Dual Diagnoses of Gifted Children and Adults supports SENG!

This new book, which arose from SENG's continuing education workshops, is authored by notable experts in giftedness, including several members of SENG's Board of Directors. All the authors generously agreed that a significant portion of the royalties from sales of the book would go not to them, but to SENG, to support our continuing efforts to reach parents, mental health practitioners, educators, and gifted adults and children.

The book has already garnered substantial support from leaders within the gifted education field and in other professions. The Foreword was written by former President of the American Psychological Association, Dr. Ron Fox. Other APA Presidents, as well as neurologists and family practice specialists, have praised it as an important, groundbreaking work.

Misdiagnosis and Dual Diagnoses of Gifted Children and Adults promotes an enhanced sensitivity to the fact that gifted children may have multiple diagnoses, as well as to the likelihood that their unusual behaviors may be misdiagnosed. As one of the authors said, "We are trying not only to reach parents, but also to educate pediatricians, psychologists, psychiatrists, family practitioners, clinical social workers, and counselors. Perhaps this book will be a good beginning."
