Abstract: his paper explores the author’s perspective on intuition in psychoanalytic practice,expanding on his previous study of misunderstandings in the interpretation of Bion's work. Bion’semphasis on revealing the non-visible aspects of psychic reality can lead to misinterpretations when hisideas are read too literally, neglecting the role o observable elements. While intuition is a crucial toolfor accessing the patient's psychic truth, there is a risk of overvaluing it, if sensoriality and rationalityare not considered components of the analytical relationship, leading to an inadequate perception of it.Clinical material is presented to illustrate how intuition emerges during the evolution of an analyticalsession.
