 Cross Cultural Differences in the Manifestation of Transference Outside the Psychoanalytical Setting Transference is a phenomenon that, since its identification and description by Freud,1-6 has been the focus of study7-11 by those interested in the psychological principles of human interaction. Clara Thompson12 stated that “transference was not created by psychoanalysis. As long as human beings have had relationships with each other, there have probably been irrational elements in those relationships” (p. 273). According to her, these irrational elements have been quite evident in those relationships in which one person was in a position of authority.

On the other hand, when I try to return the principle as mine or my property, then I am converting the principle into value, and I put it into practice and preservation in my daily life, then we could say that from constant and repetitive practice I begin to acquire good habits that I turn into virtues, like the practice of bad habits promoted by anti values or the opposite of the values established and ...
