> What I don't get is why does our feelings have to be either transference or projection?
They don't have to be either one or the other...
There are still a variety of other defense mechanisms to choose from ;-)>Why can't they just be what we really feel for real about T? Is T a ghost that really isn't a person? Personally I think the idea of transference is a load of do do. I think it is just a way for a t to emotionally protect himself so he can remain neutrual with us. If he can label are feelings as something else that is real, he is more comfortable with it then if he thought the feelings are really for him. JMHO
Hmm. I guess it is supposed to be the INTENSITY of the feeling or the strength of conviction attached to the belief that is the indication that there is something more going on there...
