can anyone plz explain what is the difference between negative transference,positive transference and counter transference plzzzzzzzz

[ArchivalUser]

Transference accurs when a pte projects feelings from his or her personal life onto a doctor, counter-tranference takes place when the doctor projects feelings onto the pte. These feelings can be positive or negative. The pet’s anger at the doctor when her sexual advances are rebuffed is an example of negative transference.

a. Is an example of counter-transference.

d and e are example of positive transference. Positive transference can take the form of sexual desire.
