Transference - The Outdated Map

Transference is that set of ways of perceiving and responding to the world which is developed in childhood and which is unsually entirely appropriate to the childhood environment (indeed, often life-saving) but which is inappropriately transferred into the adult environment.

Truth or reality is avoided when it is painful. We can revise our maps only when we have the discipline to overcome that pain.

To have such discipline, we must be totally dedicated to truth.

- from The Road Less Travelled by M. Scott Peck
