ABSTRACT
In this commentary of Shapiro and Marks-Tarlow’s “Varieties of Clinical Intuition” (this issue), I discuss the clinical implications of their integrative model of intuition, examining both the value and potential hazards of moments of local (sensory-based) and nonlocal (non-sensory-based) intuitive knowing. While considering the desire to enhance one’s own natural intuitive capacity, I explore the riches and potential complications faced by clinicians whose personal boundaries are pierced by their patients’ accurate intuitive dreams.
Acknowledgements
I thank Shapiro and Marks-Tarlow for providing a scientific framework for this enchanted instrument that ultimately unites us all.
