PICCINI, Amina Maggi. Intuition: a technical lack in psychoanalysis. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2016, vol.50, n.1, pp.183-204. ISSN 0486-641X.

In our psychoanalytic training, we are well prepared to handle patients’ material when they distort, project, imagine, hallucinate, when they are in the "as-if" world, when they feel us for what we are not. However, by using clinical vignettes, the author recalls in this paper the patient not only distorts reality but also is sometimes able, through intuition, to capture the psychoanalyst’s intimate and secret truths. What to do in these cases? There are very rare answers to this question in psychoanalytic technique works, and even rarer from the supervisors’. Taking into consideration that analysands have come to us in order to seek for an improvement in their self-knowledge, could we make them conscious of their intuitive skills (when they have them) at least in certain cases? The author emphasizes the importance for us to know to realize, through the client’s associative, oneiric (dreamy), and transferential material, now and here in the setting, those possible intuitive captions and how he uses them. It also lets us have an idea of how it has worked in other situations, in terms of unconsciously deciphering environmental data.

Palabras clave : intuition; technique; transference; dream; supervision.
