N2 - In spite of the difficulty in predicting the time any treatment is to take, working with gifted children and their parents includes -in many cases- a substantial improvement in a comparatively short time in at least one aspect of the child's life.

The potential causes of the success reached are to be discussed; some of them might also be relevant to non-gifted children....
