    Background:

    • Revisiting Sigmund Freud's "Analysis Terminable and Interminable" (1937) through the lens of child analysis.
    • Emphasizing the critical role of developmental assessment and forces in psychoanalytic treatment.

    Observation:

    • Explores goals and success criteria for child psychoanalysis.
    • Identifies factors leading to interminable analyses: unrealistic expectations, parental/analyst conflicts.
    • Examines mourning processes for child and analyst during termination.

    Findings:

    • Case study of a 5-year-old boy's stuttering analysis highlights termination complexities.
    • Connects termination to developmental progression, transference neurosis resolution, and analytic function.
