When and for what duration would gifted individuals need psychiatric medication? A useful discussion with a therapist with over 40 years of experience in the area. Can we guide these individuals to come to a deeper level of realisation/actualisation that they become able to carry out auto-psychotherapy as suggested by Kazimierz Dabrowski, a pioneer in gifted development?

"When and why standard assessments and interventions often fall short?"

"The psychiatric consultation/assessment and the proper use of medication"

"Formulating the causes of symptoms and dysfunctional behaviour and avoiding misdiagnosis:"

"Symptoms and behaviour need to be evaluated in CONTEXT in order to determine their origins"

"Familiarity with the elements of a gifted endowment and features of a gifted personality are essential in avoiding misdiagnosis"

"The ultimate goal is to help the gifted individual reconnect with his/her giftedness in positive ways, so they can reclaim their identity as a gifted individual and proceed on their unique developmental path."
