[Intuition and imagination in Psychiatric diagnosis (author's transl)]. 1977

H Dietrich

Intuition in the medical diagnostic sphere is a subconscious cognitive act, the result of which appears consciously as a flash of imagination. Scientific intuition presumes expert knowledge and works consciously with the mnemic reservoir and the associative forces from the subconscious. Low degrees of a hysterical and paranoic nature facilitate access to the subconscious and projection. Intuitive knowledge is corrected by rational thinking.
