Explanation:

In psychology, the term transference is described as a specific situation whereby expectations, feelings, and desires of an individual are being applied or redirected to the other person. It is also referred to as a "therapeutic setting" wherein an individual may apply a few emotions or feelings to a therapist while being in a therapy session.
