Transference
Transference is a phenomenon characterized by unconscious redirection of feelings from one person to another. One definition of transference is "the inappropriate repetition in the present of a relationship that was important in a person's childhood." another definition is "the redirection of feelings and desires and especially of those unconsciously retained from childhood toward a new object".
