I think this is true also. Both my T and pdoc wince at the word transference like I do. They look at themselves as humans and acknowledge that feelings are feelings. To say you can't grow to like someone that you interact with on such an intimate basis doesn't make sense. It's true some people's feelings may grow to a point that they're not appropriate, healthy or many other things, but that can happen outside of therapy. That's when the therapist or pdoc needs to step in and directly deal with the "transference" in a professional way.
