COURSE DESCRIPTION: 

Beginning with Freud’s “Analysis Terminable and Interminable”, this course will look at carefully planned termination as well as unexpected and premature terminations, considering the role of misalliances, mistiming, misattunements, transference, countertransference, and resistance. It will also explore how, in psychoanalytic treatment that is not focused on symptom reduction, we “know’ when it is appropriate to consider termination and whether that determination should be made by the patient, the analyst, or both.
