Answer 2

Answer: projection/transference = unconscious contents are projected on outer object. This is what usually happens in relationships and creates enormous attraction. Then, a person attributes non-existing qualities to the loved one (politician, friend, teacher etc etc.). Result of that is a completely imaginary relationship which has no support in reality. Projection/transference is an unconscious process (i.e. it has nothing to do with conscious intentions of the ego) which is responsible for unhealthy idealization.

Explanation: unhealthy idealization (which creates infantile dependency) must be confronted with reality. This is what depth psychology calls "withdrawal of projection".
