RESUMO

This work seeks for a Psycho-analytic discussion on a prevailing issue - until now, at least - in the field of Psychology, which is deeply rooted on a genetic and determinist concept of man: the gifted. It s about an issue strongly related to the concept of intelligence, approached by classic Psychology from three main points of view: the biologic, the environmental and the interactional ones. So, as long as the chapters flow, we try to show how the descriptive way Psychology approaches this issue isolates the gifted on a condition which makes impractical any alternative approach that may consider his speech and focus the factors concerning to subjectivity. On the other hand, we propose a Psycho-analytic reading on the issue focusing on the neurosis cases since the hypothesis that the cognitive constitution is closely related with the Psychic constitution of the subject. So, we defend the thesis that gifted child is a unique way of being responsive to mother wish and the parental phantasm, and it can be concerned as a symptom as it turns the indisposition currently related to neurotic structure on a suffering that proceeds from the link of the person to the gifted significant. Starting from this premise, we propose an articulation between the Wish of Knowing on Freud and Lacan, presupposing that the issues concerning to intelligence, in this reference, suffer a displacement of the biologic, environmental and/or interactional factors, setting itself under the primacy of sexuality, and being strongly associated to the way the subject is referred to castration and the Other demands. As research matter, following the Psychoanalytic method, it was used the reports of recorded interviews with two children diagnosed as gifted and their parents, in which it was possible to watch how to respond from this situation - of being a gifted - appears as a way of attend upon parental wish. The conclusion of such a research ratifies the hypothesis that the Psychic constitution may affect on the cognitive constitution process of the subject, though it also admits the need of a innate predisposition of the children to be a gifted, articulating the symbolical issue - which comes from the incidence of the significant and the wish - to the records of the imaginary and the real.
