In this indiscriminate use of the term, TRANSFERENCE is applied to the total relationship between the therapist and client.

The varied use of TRANSFERENCE is the result of differing opinions, or disagreement, as to what it really is. French (2, p. 73) writes that "there is a good deal of confusion as to what TRANSFERENCE really means.
