Transference refers to when a client develops emotions and feelings for practitioner similar to those they have for an authority figure from childhood-ex.: client says psychologist reminds her of her father. Countertranference is when the practitioner develops those attachments to the client-ex.: psychologist thinks client is just like his troubled sister, etc
