Hi evangelista just checking - do you mean - attachment?

Attachment is feelings of closeness - liking , loving a person for example I like the therapist that I have at the moment. Another example I have fun with a friend and we have become attached to each other that is we like each other and love spending time together.

Transference is using the therapist as a container for the clients own feelings about the topic being discussed. for example when talking to a therapist a client may feel that therapist is ganging up on him/her because that what they felt the abuser was doing - basically seeing the therapist as the abuser. Another example role playing the therapist role plays an experience with a situation by being the other person in the situation so that the client can take the bottled up feeling out of themselfs and into the therapist so that the situation can be taken care of.
