CAGT Presentation Now Available for Viewing

On October 23, 2020 Terri shared Patrick’s story in the context of the Psychological Autopsy (PA) conducted by the William and Mary team. The presentation was given at the Colorado Association for Gifted and Talented (CAGT). Using the PA published by Dr. Tracy Cross et al., the life and death of Patrick (an 18 year-old student) is examined. New models to predict suicidal ideation are presented. Illuminating how the intensities and over-excitabilities associated with being gifted can be risk or protective factors will help participants recognize similar traits in the gifted individuals with whom they interact. This knowledge will inform participants as they guide gifted individuals across the life span. My hope—never lose another one.
