Are You Transferable as a Skill?

"Transference is a phenomenon in  which one seems to direct feelings or desires related to an important  figure in one’s life—such as a parent—toward someone who is not that  person. In the context of psychoanalysis and related forms of therapy,  a patient is thought to demonstrate transference when expressing  feelings toward the therapist that appear to be based on the patient’s  past feelings about someone else."
