Someone from PsychCentral posted a definition of transference and attachment several years ago; the definition made it to Google. If you Google "difference between transference and attachment" (w/out the quotes), you should find it in the list of options you get. Transference isn't always about one's parents, but can include any close relationship you might have had. And there's positive and negative transference...and so much more. Googling "transference" will likely give you a good idea of what you need to know. Good luck.
