The Editors of the Springer Series on Human Exceptionality invite you to submit appropriate manuscripts to the editorial office for consideration for future publication.
The Springer Series on Human Exceptionality serves as an outlet for the rapid growth of research on the biological, psychological, social, cultural, educational, historical, and legal aspects of human exceptionality. Although no one discipline has ownership to the study of exceptionality, The Springer Series on Human Exceptionality embraces a more diverse, flexible, and dynamic conceptualization that draws from multidisciplinary perspectives.
The series publishes advances in theory as well as evidence-based research and practice on a wide array of facets of human exceptionality. The series is receptive to receiving manuscripts focusing on all aspects and facets of human exceptionality and drawing from all disciplines that examine issues of exceptionality. While there is a strong focus on children and adolescents, the series is not strictly limited to this age range. The series includes various descriptions of exceptionality ranging from a focus on cognitive and intellectual abilities and creativity to the wide range of talents expressed in art and athletics. Various descriptions that are often used to identify human exceptionalities such as Autism and ADHD, or Learning Disabilities and Developmental Disabilities, are appropriate for this series and may examine the biological, neural and psychological underpinnings as well environmental and cultural factors that cause or are implicated in understanding such individuals and groups. Thus, an examination of the factors that shape and influence the range of human diversity and exceptionality is a key purpose that this series will serve to address.
This series will be of particular interest to both researchers and practitioners in the social, behavioral and biological sciences. While some books in this series may be quite specific to a particular audiences such as physicians and neuropsychologists (e.g., the book we recently published on Neurobiology of Exceptionality), other books will be of much greater interest to a wider audience that may encompass educators and psychologists (e.g., Dynamic Assessment of Young Children). As well some books in this series will be much more focused on the development of theory and reporting supporting research (e.g., Theory of Mind and Language in Developmental Contexts) while others will have much greater relevance to practitioners (e.g., Handbook of Psychosocial Characteristics of Young Children).These books may also be appropriate as textbooks for senior undergraduate and graduate courses.
