Spirituality in the Gifted: Proposals for the Spiritual Development of the Intellectually Gifted
Gifted Education International, v41 n2 p211-235 2025
The purpose of this article is to review the relevance of spirituality in the intellectually gifted and to derive a proposal for helping and guiding them in their spiritual concerns based on their psychological characteristics that may influence the way they experience spirituality. Based on their characteristics a practical approach is proposed for educators and psychotherapists to support both the development of their potential in the spiritual domain and to provide guidance regarding any challenges they may encounter in this area. To this end, the article suggests focusing on three aspects that can be part of the spiritual life: the inner self, the outer life, and the integration of both, and explains some practices that can be used for the spiritual development of gifted individuals.
