What is the role of transference in psychoanalysis?
What will be an ideal response?
Transference helps the client distinguish fantasy from reality and the past from the present. Clients are able to see the power of their unconscious, childhood fantasies. When the therapist analyses transference, this helps the client to see how they misinterpret and relate to people in the present according to their interactions with people in the past. This helps clients to perceive reality and make choices based upon reality.
