"Or in my case, at least an amused appreciation or understanding of how the way I'm relating to people is only partly due to the immediate situation and partly due to my accumulated experiences."
-----------------------
To me, this concept of transferrence sounds like what you just said, but also by indicating the realm of subconscious in with that. I think transference is just a manifestation of self that comes from a person's mind w/o the ego shield and someone just had to put a label on it. Putting aside the ego shield just allows it to happen.My therapist once said I had transference with a helping professional, and I never quite understood what she meant. Now I really understand what she meant. But I don't believe that was the case.
Transference has too much in common with true love, the aspects of love that can be explained using psych terms and concepts w/o considering spirituality.
