A better question would be what kinds of therapies do NOT depend on developing "therapeutic transference". Lots of therapy types use transference as a vehicle to healthy change for a client. Only a few types of therapy don't -- those are more analytical and a therapist is usually more of a mirror to reflect and doesn't say too much. Or if it's very goal oriented like in CBT for short periods - it's less about the therapeutic relationship, and more about getting the client the skills so they can get out the door.

All of this is my opinion, not necessarily fact.
