Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychotherapy Research

Background:

  • Psychotherapy termination processes exhibit significant variability.
  • General termination guidelines exist but may not suit all cases.
  • A case-specific approach is likely optimal for termination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the application of Control-mastery Theory (CMT) in psychotherapy termination.
  • To provide a framework for understanding and facilitating optimal patient terminations.
  • To outline perspectives on termination decision-making, processing, and final sessions.

Main Methods:

  • Review and theoretical application of Control-mastery Theory (CMT).
  • Discussion of decision-making and processing of psychotherapy termination.
  • Exploration of the final therapy session.

Main Results:

  • Control-mastery Theory (CMT) provides a framework for individualized termination.
  • CMT can aid therapists in understanding unique patient dynamics during termination.
  • Perspectives on optimal termination decision-making and processing are outlined.

Conclusions:

  • Therapy termination is best approached on a case-by-case basis.
  • Control-mastery Theory (CMT) offers valuable insights for optimizing psychotherapy terminations.
  • Understanding patient-specific factors is crucial for effective termination.
