Ending Psychotherapy

Severalls, Wilton Lane, Jordans, Beaconsfield, Bucks HP9 2RE, UK.

The paper starts with two cases with unsatisfactory endings, aiming to show that unsatisfactory endings are easier to define than desirable ones. The two cases also illustrate the social element involved in termination. Social demand for shorter treatments has led to attempts to introduce methods to shorten them, some of which are described as a reaction against `interminable' analyses. The author describes a number of endings, to be thought of rather as guidelines than as rules. Children as well as adults are considered. Among some analysed persons there remains a need for community which is a social problem not subject to ordinary transference reduction.
