First, intuition is considered historically, as applied to empathic transference in analytical practice, from the first explorations of the unconscious (a coin termed in the mid-19th century) and of “rapport” to Freudian and Jungian transference practices. Jungian empathy is contextualized in a tradition that might be called Puységurian, as opposed to Mesmerist. Jung’s posthumous publications (his Memories, Dreams, Reflections and his Red Book) provide intuition with its mythical dimension: as an opening to the collective unconscious through the myth Jung calls “lived.” It is no longer merely Anschauung, which means “intuition,” but Mythosanschauung: a tangible experience of the myth, in the present.
