Скачать или смотреть Reflections on Giftedness and Dąbrowski's Theory, Part 2 (asynchrony, community & advocacy) | Ep. 65

In episode 65, Chris and Emma continue their two-part conversation with Dr. Linda Silverman, founder of the Gifted Development Center and long-time advocate for gifted education.

In this second half of the conversation, Linda shares her insights on asynchronous development, emphasizing that IQ scores should be seen as minimal estimates rather than fixed measures of potential. She reflects on the formation of the Columbus Group, the evolution of the Dabrowski Congress, and her role in creating Advanced Development Journal—the only peer-reviewed publication dedicated to adult giftedness.

We also explore:

• The origins of asynchronous development and its Dabrowskian roots
• How Advanced Development Journal emerged from the Dabrowski Study Group
• Shifts in the Dabrowski community over time, including challenges and conflicts
• Linda’s perspective on the 2024 Congress and the growing connection with neurodiversity
• The importance of authenticity, collaboration, and carrying the theory forward to new generations

Chris and Emma close the conversation with gratitude for Linda’s decades of work, recognizing how her contributions continue to shape and inspire the study of giftedness, neurodivergence, and positive disintegration.
