WHAT IS TRANSFERENCE?
R
Transference is a psychology term used to describe a phenomenon in which an individual redirects emotions and
feelings, often unconsciously, from one person to another. This process may occur in therapy, when a person
receiving treatment applies feelings including romantic feelings toward—or expectations of—another person onto
VE
the therapist and then begins to interact with the therapist as if the therapist were the other individual. Often, the
patterns seen in transference will be representative of a relationship from early childhood or past experiences. There
are however several different forms of transference that can occur.
The concept of transference was first described by psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud in his 1895 book Studies on
Hysteria, where he noted the deep, intense, and often unconscious feelings that sometimes developed within the
therapeutic relationships he established with those he was treating.
