As a program supported by Association of Hungarian Support Organizations for Giftedness, we provided a psychological assistance for 50 young gifted adolescents (aged from 14 to 18) for 14 months long. The assistance included 50 hours individual conversation with a clinical psychologist, 30 hours group workshops and a 5-day long summer-camp.

We have identified eight areas of psychological problems: Environmental, Social, Emotional, Motivational, Cognitive, Self-esteem, Coping, Organizational problems.

We have examined these problem areas with a series of questionnaires (both given to the psychologist and to the gifted young individuals). The clinical psychologists also provided a thorough case-description and filled out a questionnaire about each individual. Young individuals filled out Parent and Peer Attachment, Olson FACES-IV, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Child Depression, IPIP personality, Creativity, Flow, Motivation and Interests, Self-esteem test.

The young gifted individuals liked to learn relaxation techniqes, coping strategies and they reported how the non-critisizing, positive, encouraging atmosphere helped them to achieve personality development.
