Description

Offering an integrated approach to the psychology of underachievement, unifying theory and practice, this book examines different types of underachievers, explores the relationship between personality and underachievement, and provides useful guidelines for clinical practice. An outline and summary of the voluminous (and often contradictory) literature is presented, together with theoretical models of the underachiever that are grounded in mainstream diagnostic and therapeutic theory. Examples of each personality type are included, so that practitioners can easily recognize and treat them.
