Smart Girls: A New Psychology of Girls, Women, and Giftedness

Barbara A. Kerr, Ph.D.

Neither a second edition nor a sequel, Kerr describes her book as "a transformation and extension of the original material, based on a new understanding of the lives of gifted women." It is influenced by a 20-year follow-up to the original group of women for whom Smart Girls, Gifted Women was written. Why do bright girls too often fail to realize their potential? This outstanding book continues to help parents, educators, and counselors understand and guide talented girls. Now updated with new research references.

Smart Boys: Talent, Manhood, and the Search for Meaning

Barbara A. Kerr, Ph.D., and Sanford J. Cohn, Ph.D.

Gifted boys need help too.  Why do so many of our brightest boys and young men underachieve in school and fail to reach their full potential in the world of work?  Why do many have problems with depression in adolescence or their adult years?  The authors explore these questions using current research, examinations of other books, and personal interviews with gifted men.  This book has practical suggestions for parents and teachers who work with smart boys, as well as thought-provoking insights about gifted men.  A must read for all educators and parents.
