This collection investigates the complex clinical, theoretical, and relational challenges inherent in the termination phase of psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Editor Jill Salberg compiles contributions from prominent psychoanalysts to examine how the ending of a therapeutic relationship functions as a critical, often fraught, component of the treatment process. The text challenges traditional notions of clean, definitive endings by proposing that terminations are frequently messy, ongoing, and deeply influenced by the relational dynamics established between patient and analyst.
