Positive and negative transference can benefit therapy in different ways. Generally in the case of transference an individual is not seeking to establish a relationship with a real person but with someone onto whom they have projected feelings and emotions. The client might mistrust us because of the transferred feelings of somebody in their life who harmed them or earned their mistrust, without those feelings even being conscious. This to works both ways, they might respect us because of the transferred feelings of somebody they loved and trusted.

Initially she viewed me as suspicious and mistrusting, I saw this as her transference of feelings from her home and she might not have even been aware of.

In the novella, Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck tells of the hardships that George and Lennie, two polar opposite men, live through in a time filled with discrimination and job deficiency set in the 1900’s during the Great Depression. As close friends, as well as work partners, George and Lennie know that their dream fuels them to persist through challenges and have something to look forward to.
