Szalita-Pemow defines the 'intuitive process' as understanding which erupts 'ready-to-use' into the conscious mind. It differs from other thinking in the rapidity of connections and the availability of channels of communication. The use of visual images accounts for the rapidity. The schizophrenic patient thinks with dreamlike associations but the channels of communication with realistic thinking are confused. The therapist makes a relation with the patient on two levels: he must follow the dreamlike thinking and, at the same time, reflect upon it. His anxiety is understandable, but if it is great, it interferes with his intuitive abilities.
