Children identified as having high intellectual potential (HIP) are characterized by emotional hypersensitivity in their relationships with others, generally have low self-esteem, and a sense of being out of step with their environment. Frequently, they immediately impose a relational distance in a defensive approach by cognition and seem to pass any emerging emotional feelings through a rational filter. Their suffering is tainted with painful lucidity.

Based on a clinical history, the aims of this study are to address different aspects of the psychiatric clinic of the suicidal adolescent identified with a high intellectual potential.
