Transference is when the patient develops romantics feelings toward the therapist (usually because they are attributing their feelings of well-being toward the therapist) There are two types, but I can only remember one of them, which is erotic transference. I also read somewhere in an article (I posted it a while back) that therapy isn't complete until the patient has experienced transference. I don't know if I agree with that. But, I have experieced a type of it myself, but not in a romantic way. More like, I just want my therapist to be my father-figure, like a dad. Hope this helps you out.
