Genius and Eminence (International Series in Social Psychology)

In this second edition there are 28 chapters, of which 17 are new while the remaining chapters have been revised and updated. The book clearly reflects a continued vigour in the research on exceptional achievement. More emphasis is given to empirical work with newer arguments on personal dynamics and biological processes; new arguments for and against IQ as a measure of intelligence; more contemporary research of family and learning experiences linked to achievement; and new perspectives on the possible linkage between artistic creativity and psychological dynamics and biological processes. The changes bring the book up-to-date and give a coherent view of social and family variables and the important distinctions between academic and real-world performance among the gifted and talented.

The purpose of this book is to understand as well as possible those who succeed in their careers and those who don't. The reader, moving from beginning to end, will be presented with an integrated set of statements about important conceptual and empirical positions in regard to exceptional achievements. In light of the new material the structure of the book has been reorganized, and in some cases old papers have been moved to new chapters. Nonetheless, both editions represent the same basic issues, and approach the same basic problems.

Albert, Robert S.

Social rules theory is used to explore differences in the meaning and construction of assertion, extending both the way we think about assertive communication, its relation to effective interpersonal communication and methods of assertiveness training.

For courses in Introduction to Psychology, African American Psychology, African American Studies, Multicultural Counseling and Cross Cultural Counseling and Psychotherapy. This text highlights the limitations of traditional psychological theories and approaches when applied to people of African descent. It provides information on how the African Centered Perspective is defined, as well as how it operates in the context of the African American family with regard to identity development, education, mental health, research, and managing contemporary issues. It links the context of African American life to the traditions, values and spiritual essence of their African ancestors in an attempt to acknowledge the African worldview and assist the African American community in addressing some of the challenges they continue to face.
