520 _aHow does the infantile psyche come to over-invest the thought process ? Our aim is to contribute to the understanding of this particular symptomatic orientation of the Gifted Child, by presuming the impact of a family environment aspect on the evolution of the impulse leading towards sublimation. This orientation would be caused in part by the child’s over-investment in sexual theories, due to the absolute enigmatic circumstances of its birth. The «impulse to know» (first human epistemological tendency, which begins concomitantly with the Theory of Infantile Sexuality around the age of 3 years old) precedes the observation of certain family aspects prone to have influenced the over-investment of this impulse in Gifted Children : absent fathers, parents in great conflict, adoption or in-vitro births. An example of the presumed influence of these factors is offered through the clinical observation (which includes psychiatric interviews and full psychological examination) of three young boys with an IQ over 140, aged between the years of 7 and 13. The in-depth analysis of their projective tests (Rorschach et Épreuves Thématiques) puts forth the particularly painful characteristics of their affectivity, and their extensive unconscious preoccupations about their origin - although these are primary preoccupations that often lead to an exceptional capacity of secondarisation.
