Intuition in transference: from cryptomnesia to interpretation

Intuition, perception “via the unconscious” is so fleeting it is difficult to apprehend. In the course of analytic work, supported by cryptomnesias, it contributes to the dynamics of the transference relationship and supports the process of psychic transformation. Unconscious in nature, it must be greeted, evaluated and analysed like a dream, with attention to the subject’s time, body and history so that its operative power can unfold.
