Clinical and Conceptual Considerations of Endings and Terminations of Psychoanalytic Treatments (406) Instructor: Dorothy E. Holmes, Ph.D., ABPP, FABP Distance Learners Welcome; Instructor is teaching remotely The word “termination” is inadequate for the various ways in which a psychoanalytic treatment may be concluded. The word “termination” derives from Freud’s scant work on the conclusion of psychoanalytic treatment. Some treatments end abruptly, unilaterally, and/or with intense affective aspects and results that fall short of the treatment goals. At best, “termination” is a shortcut for the variety of ways, satisfactory and not so satisfactory, that treatments conclude. This course will consider the history of “termination” in terms of older classical views, including but not limited to Freud’s. More contemporary Freudian and relational/interpersonal points of will also be considered. Other dimensions of a treatment’s conclusion will also be studied: who decides, whether it is planned or not, mutual or not, or an impasse. Further, we will study indicators for concluding treatment, and complicating factors such as diagnosis, a history of trauma, and attachment issues.
