Identifying the Highly Creative Person
- An Effective Response in Teaching and Treatment

 

What are the attributes of the highly creative person?
Why do their abilities often become liabilities?
Where is their path to well-being and success?

 

Counseling the highly creative person is not part of a usual training program for clinicians or educators.  Usually, creativity has been relegated to the world of artists.  There are individuals who are routinely overlooked or misdiagnosed in treatment and may be at risk for academic and other problems in daily life.  These individuals are highly creative by virtue of their aptitudes, though not only in the artistic sense.  The goal of this seminar is to assist clinicians and educators to identify individuals who are highly creative and effectively respond to their needs in treatment and education.

 

Understand the Multiple Facets of Creative Intelligence
Recognize Highly Creative Individuals and their Aptitudes
Identify Typical Problems that Occur as a Result of Unidentified or Underutilized Creative Aptitudes
Develop an Effective Assessment and Intervention Strategy for Counseling and Educating the Creatively-Gifted Person
