Yes, Grinity. The book explains Dabrowski's Levels of Develoment and Developmental Processes in Chapter 2 and throughout the book goes into a lot of detail about how Positive Disintegration applies to gifted children and adults. I am now ready to read more of it - I was originally looking for some advise for my GD5's overexcitabilities but I think you would get a lot out of the book. Hopefully I will too once I read more.
