transference

transference
Noun
pl: transferences

This term describes the movement of an entity, property, or emotion from one source to another. In general contexts, it is often interchangeable with "transfer," though "transference" frequently emphasizes the process or the state of being moved rather than the specific act of moving. In technical fields like thermodynamics or chemistry, it refers specifically to the migration of energy or particles.

In a psychological context, the word takes on a highly specialized meaning. It describes a specific clinical phenomenon where a patient projects unresolved feelings from a past relationship onto a therapist. This usage is distinct from the general sense of moving an object and is almost exclusively used within psychoanalytic and therapeutic discourse.
