"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." https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/transference Liam questions Psychotherapist Harriet Fraad and Substance Abuse Councillor Ikoi Hiroe on their experiences of Transference and Counter-Transference.

Psychotherapist Harriet Fraad talks with Emily Guendelsberger, author of 'On the Clock'. "Across three jobs, and in three different parts of the country, Guendelsberger directly took part in the revolution changing the U.S.  workplace. Offering an up-close portrait of America's actual essential  workers, On the Clock examines the broken social safety net as  well as an economy that has purposely had all the slack drained out and  converted to profit. Guendelsberger shows us how workers went from being the  most expensive element of production to the cheapest - and how low wage  jobs have been remade to serve the ideals of efficiency, at the cost of  humanity."
