Hi LadyBug,

Thanks for mentioning this book. I've been doing a lot of reading about therapy terminations, and I hadn't run across this one yet. It's funny, because when my old T was preparing to move to another state, he kept talking about how we could have a "Good Goodbye". I thought he was basically full of it. In that situation a good goodbye didn't seem possible to me.

In the other books I've read about termination, they all talk about the ideal therapy termination, where the client chooses to terminate because they've accomplished their goals for therapy. Then the client and T work on an extended process of terminating gracefully. Seems to me a fair number of therapies don't end that way, and no one has anything to say about that in the literature. I'll look forward to reading this book.
