    Area of Science:

    • Psychoanalytic theory
    • Psychotherapy research

    Background:

    • Theorists have long debated psychoanalytic termination, viewing it as either a clinical practice or a theoretical concept.
    • Existing literature extensively covers termination as a process, with varied conceptualizations over the past seventy years.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a novel approach to psychoanalytic termination, emphasizing the termination event.
    • To develop a typological framework for classifying different analysis outcomes based on the termination event.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of psychoanalytic literature on termination over the last seventy years.
    • Conceptual analysis focusing on termination as an event with coordinates of direction, communication, and temporality.
    • Illustration with clinical vignettes.

    Main Results:

    • Termination as an event is a complex configuration with direction, communication, and temporality.
    • Dreams, parapraxes, acting out, and parting gifts are significant in termination.
    • The termination event framework differentiates between successful, interrupted, impasse, and interminable analyses.

    Conclusions:

    • Viewing termination as an event provides a valuable typological framework for psychoanalytic practice and theory.
    • This perspective enhances understanding of the diverse trajectories and outcomes of psychoanalytic treatment.
