ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews our current understanding of intuition, spanning multiple disciplines with very different perspectives. These differing viewpoints share common features as well as distinctions regarding how intuition is defined, how it operates, and the legitimacy of intuitively derived information. This review includes the perspectives of business research, cognitive psychologists, psychoanalysts, nonanalytic psychotherapists, feminist scholarship, research centered on how intuition is used in psychotherapy and counseling, transpersonal psychology, the psi research, and finally a synthesis of the diverse threads of scholarship on intuition that contribute to a complex understanding of the phenomenon.
