Answer 1

Transference

Step-by-step explanation:

Psychoanalysis

In Freud's theory of personality and therapeutic technique, it simply states that thoughts and actions are fue to unconscious motives and conflicts. He believed that patient's free associations, resistances, dreams, and transferences and the therapist's interpretations of them released previously repressed feelings, thereby allowing the patient to gain self-insight.

Transference

This is simply known as the likelihood for a patient or an individual to project positive or negative feelings for important people from the past onto another person. In psychoanalysis, an individual transfer to the other person of emotions linked with other relationships (such as love or hatred for a parent).

Positive transference

This is simply a friendly, affectional feelings felt toward the therapist or an individual.

Negative transference

This is regarded as a hostile and angry feelings expressed toward the therapist or an individual.

Example is when you meet someone at a party who reminds you of a favorite aunt and you find yourself feeling warmly towards this new person.
