Résumé

Ce travail etudie l originalite de l interaction entre la position du sujet inscrit dans son historicite et la pratique le haut niveau dans des specialites olympiques. Cet extreme n a pas encore donne lieu aux reperages theoriques retenus relient des parametres aussi differents que les criteres psycho-sociaux d inclusion appartenance au microcosme de la definie par la societe general, les repercussions psycho-physiologiques queles remaniements d une homeostasie corporelle provoquee par la puberte ne peuvent que susciter; le processus d adolescence, les reamenagements de l image du corps ave une interrogation constante sur la motricite et d autre part, une sollicitation des investissements narcissiques et confrontation quotidienne a la limite tant psychique que physique. Pour comprendre les mouvements pulsionnels alors en jeu, l auteur articule sa reflexion autour du concept de clivage du du moi denie le corps genital en restant accrochee a un corps infantile (lieu d expression d idees de toute puissance si soutenir la motivation). Une autre admet la realite developpementale pubertaire : cependant, freinee par le moi infantil s oriente vers une idealsation du corps ( en particulier dans son aspect musculaire). Le clivage de l objet qui lui correspond fait apparaitre du cote du moi genital, uen figure de parent grandiose, de-geni l entraineur dont le desir rejoint celui de son athlete. Ces deux partenaires sont ainsi amenes a representer l image sy performance sportive, support d une identite bicephale entraineur-athlete. A partir de cet axe sont commentees differentes organisations psychiques privelegiees ainsi que la particularite de leur l accent est mis sur l importance du suivi psychologique de ces athletes afin que leur carriere sportive ne soit pas un d enfermement mais plutot uen etape structurante de leur economie psychique.

This work describes the originality of the interaction between the of the subject within his historicity, and the intens involvement aiming at high-level achievement in olympic specialities. Previously, this extreme had not yet led to theoretical studies which integrate and link parameters as different as the criteria of beloning or being accepted within the microcosme of sports performance as it is designated by society in psycho-physiological repercussions of the reworking of body honostasis which is already put into play because of puberty of adolescence ; the restructuring of body-image, with, on the one hand, a constant concern with motricity, and on the sollicitation of object and narcissistic investment because of the daily confrontation with one's limits, both mental in order to understand the instinctive movements put into play, the author centers her work around the idea of ego-split the self denies the genital body and remains attached to the idea of an infantile body (as the basis for the idea of so necessary in order to maintain one's motivation), while the other part of the self admits the reality of the genital puberty. However, restrained by the infantile self; it turns toward and idealization of the body (especially it' s muscu the splitting of the object which corresponds to this ego-spitting engenders the general self, a grandiose, de-genitaliz paternal figure uphelded by the trainer whose desire joins that of "his" athlete. Thus, these two partners are led to re image symbol of the sports performance: support of the "two-headed" (or bicephalic) identity of the trainer-athlete. Starting from this point, the author comments upon the different psychic organisations which may come into play, as well corresponding specific therapeutical approaches. The accent is put on the importance of the psychological follow-up of order insure that their sports career doesn't become a systeme of enclosure but rather one of psychic structuring.
