Transference is positive and essential in therapy. The existence of a positive transference from early childhood to the therapist (or other figures) is the glue which allows the relationship to develop. Without transference there can not be first willingness to trust and this is an essential element.

The existence of negative transference and the problems of how deeply one can be distorted by past experiences is the work of therapy.

To be able to see and experience life realistically is the goal of good therapy.

Understanding what is distorted and unrealistic in the current transference is the work of therapy.

What is transference and projection?

Transference is a phenomenon in psychology characterized by unconscious redirection of feelings of one person to another. For instance, one could mistrust somebody who resembles an ex-spouse in manners, voice or external appearance; or be overly compliant to someone who resembles a childhood friend. In a therapy context, transference refers to redirection of a client's feelings from a significant person to a therapist. Counter-transference is defined as redirection of a therapist's feelings toward a client, or more generally as a therapist's emotional entanglement with a client. Transference was first described by Freud, who acknowledged its importance for psychoanalysis for better understanding of the patient's feelings. Transference is often manifested as an erotic attraction towards a therapist. It's also common for people to transfer feelings from their parents to their partners (emotional incest) or to children (cross-generational entanglements). Although transference is often characterized as a useful tool for building trust between a client and a therapist, transference can also interfere with a therapist
