A CLINICAL WORKSHOP: TERMINATION RECONSIDERED
SATURDAY, MAY 21, 2016 Presenter: ARLENE KRAMER RICHARDS, Ed.D.
Termination will be discussed from a post-modern point of view. Rules and tradition of how and when to terminate treatments will be outlined in terms of how they play out in particular clinical situations. The explication of unconscious fantasies and the effects of practical external circumstances on the termination decision and on the termination process after the decision will be considered. Participants are invited to bring clinical material related to termination issues.
Participants will:
Define termination in diverse situations.
Relate termination issues to age of patient, length of treatment and intensity of treatment.
Recall and evaluate their own termination experiences and the implications of these for their patients.
