Psychology of the Transference, Carl Jung states that within the

Still another description is "a
reproduction of emotions relating to repressed experiences, especially of
childhood, and the substitution of another person for the original object of
the repressed impulses”. In
general experience a variety of opposites, that in love and in psychological
growth, the key to success is the ability to endure the tension of the
opposites without abandoning the process, and that this tension allows one to
grow and to transform. In an analysis context, transference refers to redirection of a patient's
feelings for a significant person to the therapist.
