Webinar Description:

In the presentation, I introduce the Theory of Positive Disintegration (TPD), which is especially useful for understanding the tumultuous psychological development of adolescents. TPD describes patterns and explains the internal processes of human development. Over the past thirty years, TPD has been successfully applied to the field of gifted education and an understanding of gifted development. TPD introduces an essential change in adults’ attitudes toward young people. It leads to a positive understanding of their inner psychological conflicts and eliminates the negative belief that they require medical treatment. According to TPD, nervousness, and psychoneurotic symptoms are necessary forms of human growth and are signs of the beginning of an advancing process of positive transformation.
