Self-Actualization and Morality of the Gifted: Environmental, Familial, and Personal Factors by Deborah Ruf, PhD

How family, school, and social background contribute to the self-identity and subsequent self-concept and self-esteem of highly gifted individuals may be related to whether or not they eventually self-actualize.
