theses and introduced the theory to a large audience, an audience eager to learn more about Dabrowski and his theory. Although a small part of the overall theory, the application to the gifted area has generated a number of Master’s and Ph.D. Many in education and in gifted education have looked to Dabrowski’s theory to help provide a context for their student’s intense experiences. Piechowski emphasizes overexcitability and largely disregards the other aspects of the theory including positive disintegration and the role of psychoneurosis. This demand has largely evolved in the United States where Michael Piechowski applied his vision of the theory to gifted education. Since 1980, there has been a small but consistent demand for Dabrowski’s works.

NOTE: I don’t know Kazimierez Dabrowski and have only read through this introduction recently. American psychology is a perfect reflection of the society it conforms to claiming to be a science but inherently religious pretending to be a profession, but lacking controls on who may practice and profit claiming to care and fix, while exploiting the marketplace of narcissism without conscience. It’s upside down: those who are gifted, talented, out-of-the-box individuals, or anyone with novel ideas, or those who simply are raised in other cultures, are labeled as developmentally disordered, retarded, having defective brains, and exhibiting pathologic behavior. Anyone who has read my blog knows my views on American psychology: uninspired and uninspiring, Puritanical, intellectually dilute, mechanical and neotenous in its conception of normal, average, or typical development as the highest possible aspiration of all humans.
