Transference is when the patient transfers onto the therapist feelings about someone in the patient's life. Could be your mother, father, any important figure with whom you have unresolved conflicts. The idea is that the patient can work through the unresolved conflicts using the therapist as a sort of stand-in for the mother, father, whatever. The feelings are not necessarily romantic. (This is a very poorly worded explanation---sorry. Think I'll go look it up on the internet!)
