  1. A client transferring their relationship with another onto the therapist
  2. The therapist transferring their relationship with another onto the client

Explanation

Answers: A and B - Transference occurs when a client displaces emotion felt toward a parent or another individual onto the therapist. Countertransference, on the other hand, is an indication of unresolved problems on the part of the helper. The therapist recognizes traits in the client that reminds them of another significant person in their lives and in turn transfers their feelings for that person onto the client.
