Opis

Looking at the reasons why therapy can go on for too long or can come to a destructively premature ending, this text offers advice on how to avoid either. Using examples and practical guidelines, Lesley Murdin examines the theoretical, technical and ethical aspects of endings. She emphasizes that it is not only the patient who needs to change if one is to achieve a satisfactory outcome; the therapist must discover the changes in him/herself which are needed to enable an ending in psychotherapy.
