Dabrowski's Theory of Positive Disintegration

"Dabrowski talked about OE's - over-excitabilities ("superstimulatabilities"), and how the gifted were extremely sensitive in a variety of areas. It's a stimulus-response difference from the norms. It means that in these 5 areas a person reacts more strongly than normal for a longer period than normal to a stimulus that may be very small. It involves not just psychological factors but central nervous system sensitivity." Stephanie Tolan, Dabrowski's Over-excitabilities, A Layman's Explanation
