Objective: To express how intuition is involved in the process of knowledge in general and at different times, in the psychoanalytic work. Development: To attain knowledge, it is essential to have both "object" as "concept". The "object" in psychoanalysis is the cognitive intentional content, representative, volitional, emotional or instinctive, playing part of the role of the instinct-object unit; therefore, becoming at the same time container and content of the instinct. Equally, understanding the "concept" as originated from the knowledge to conceive, of gestation in the mind to form, to create, is something that happens in the mind, the psyche, and is the reverse or positive of perception. In this line of ideas, it is relevant to understand the intuitive ability and how it participates in mental processes in general and in the psychotherapeutic work of the analytical process in particular. Conclusions: We found that one can study the phenomenon of intuition in the process of knowledge and specifically in psychoanalysis. Especially in the patient-analyst linking relationship obviously a connection occurs of the different functions amongst each other ("interfuntion"). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
