I believe that genuine caring is a prerequisite for the job of being a therapist. When mutual respect and caring are absent, it makes for a very painful experience.
Over the course of a long-term therapeutic relationship, I believe it's natural that some form of caring would emerge between therapist and client.
I would be hesitant to use the term 'transference', as that seems to have negative connotations, from what I have read here.
Therapists are professionals, who generally want the best for their clients.
