Description

- Giftedness can be viewed as a cultural experience, and it is important for practitioners to be culturally competent with this population

- Smart psychologists have to do their own work around being smart, or it may manifest as counter-transference
Target audience: Psychologists, mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, addiction counselors, nurses.
