Abstract: | Presents a 7-session time-frame model for the termination of individual psychotherapy. Issues appropriate for discussion during those sessions are identified—review of therapy, content, the therapy relationship, and separation and loss. Suggested modifications of the model, depending on such factors as presenting client concerns, duration of treatment, and emphasis that the therapist places on the therapeutic relationship as a vehicle for change, are described.
