I think that not everybody believes in transference but of the ones that believe, think that there is no way to prevent it and have good therapy; in fact they think it necessary and good and a sign of going deeper into therapy. Or to put it another way, the only way you can actually prevent it is by not engaging in therapy and remain very guarded and distant. Transference comes to play once you open up a bit and the relation between patient and T develops.
