Extreme Intelligence: Development, Predicaments, Implications
Autor Sonja Falcken Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 oct 2019
This book explores the social development and predicaments of those who possess extreme intelligence, and the consequent personal and professional implications for them. It uniquely integrates insights and knowledge from the research fields of intelligence, giftedness, genius, and expertise with those from depth psychology, emphasising the importance of finding ways to talk effectively about extreme intelligence, and how it can better be supported and embraced. The author supports her arguments throughout, reviewing the academic literature alongside representations of genius in history, fiction, and the media, and draws on her own first-hand research interviews and consulting work with multinational high-IQ adults.
This book is essential reading for anyone supporting or working with the highly gifted, as well as those researching or interested by the field of intelligence.

Recenzii
"This engaging book is spot on. I am most impressed. The research Dr. Falck has done, in the literature and her own research, is phenomenal. She gives many telling examples, and illustrates her points most convincingly. It has given me sheer joy to read this and witness this particular cheetah running free. It will be ages before this book ceases to surpass all others in this important field: it deserves to do extremely well."- Patrick Casement, British Psychoanalytical Society, UK.
"Dr. Falck’s book is of singular importance for adults with exceptional intelligence and clinicians who work with them therapeutically. She places her data, observations, suggestions and conclusions in the context of an extensive literature review, making her book comprehensive and up to date. It is an authentic, stimulating, and impressive resource that contributes a deeper understanding of the interpersonal psychology of exceptionally intelligent individuals. Her research interviews with very high-IQ adults should in themselves help similar others ‘normalize’ the social dynamics they experience that unfortunately can so often be confusing and disappointing or worse. This book should inspire further pursuit of more adaptive solutions and help reverse the trend of denying, disavowing, or deconstructing the remarkable asset that extreme intelligence can be. This is a compellingly-written work that makes a major contribution to this field." – Dr. Jerald Grobman, Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, USA.
