My understanding that is transference can involve more than one person - even at the same time. And it is not hard to imagine that in certain circumstances, depending on what you are dealing with in your life and what you are talking about with your therapist, that you can feel as if the transference is your father and then in other cases you feel as if he is more of a romantic interest. Yes, in some cases a transference is a particular person. But I think that transference also involves emotions and intangibles as it relates to others not just a specific person.
