ABSTRACT

The two commentaries on “Varieties of Clinical Intuition: Explicit, Implicit, and Nonlocal Neurodynamics” approach the subject from radically different perspectives. While de Peyer focuses on clinical aspects of utilizing local and nonlocal informational channels within analytic work, Butler brings up wider socio-political implications involved in the collaboration between psychoanalysis and the natural sciences. We affirm Butler’s social justice agenda while taking issue with his unwitting form of reductionism inherent in his post-modernist argument for hermeneutics in rejection of science’s role in psychoanalysis and confusion about different levels of self-organization in informational dynamics. We are entirely in agreement with de Peyer’s suggestion that affect is the connecting thread between all forms of intuition, including its uncanny dimensions. Our fractal epistemology supports her suggestion of fuzzy boundaries between local-interactive and nonlocal-participatory forms of intuitive knowing. We end with de Peyer’s questions surrounding the clinical value of intuitive information sharing, methods for its enhancement, and the importance of clinical judgment in working with “extraordinary knowing.”

摘要

关于“临床直觉的多样性：显性、隐性和非局部神经动力学”的两篇评论从完全不同的角度探讨了该主题。虽然 de Peyer 专注于在分析工作中利用本地和非本地信息渠道的临床方面，但巴特勒提出了更广泛的社会政治影响，涉及精神分析和自然科学之间的合作。我们肯定巴特勒的社会正义议程，同时对他的后现代主义解释学论证中固有的不知情的还原论形式提出质疑，拒绝科学在精神分析中的作用，以及对信息动力学中不同层次的自组织的混淆。我们完全同意 de Peyer 的建议，即情感是所有形式直觉之间的连接线，包括其不可思议的维度。我们的分形认识论支持她关于局部互动和非局部参与形式的直觉认识之间模糊界限的建议。我们以 de Peyer 围绕直观信息共享的临床价值、其增强方法以及临床判断在处理“非凡知识”中的重要性的问题结束。
