Fromm-Reichmann sums up the conclusions of this preliminary report on the research project. 'First, that intuitive processes are essentially the same as other thinking processes, and there is nothing magical or mysterious about them; second, that the working of the intuitive processes in the analyst who treats schizophrenics may be looked upon as a function of the analyst's countertransference and his clear awareness of the realistic and transferred elements in the doctor-patient relationship; third, that severe anxiety in the analyst and his defenses against it constitute a serious source of interference, mild anxiety a potential source of stimulation of the successful operation of the analyst's intuitive processes and their therapeutic validity.'
