Termination of psychotherapy has been infrequently examined in the literature and often ignored by many training programs. Not only are criteria and techniques for termination not often discussed, but termination as a therapeutic opportunity has been neglected. The authors present two cases of psychotherapy termination initiated by the therapist and point out that countertransference phenomena, potentially destructive, are the major aspect separating psychotherapy termination by mutual agreement and termination initiated by the therapist. Careful, regular, and attentive supervision for therapists in training is essential to counterbalance the intensified countertransference reactions involved.
心理治疗的终止在文献中很少被研究，并且常常被许多培训项目忽视。不仅终止的标准和技术常常未被讨论，而且终止作为一个治疗契机也被忽视了。作者呈现了两例由治疗师发起的心理治疗终止案例，并指出反移情现象是区分双方同意的心理治疗终止和由治疗师发起的终止的主要方面，这种现象可能具有破坏性。对接受培训的治疗师进行仔细、定期且专注的督导对于平衡其中涉及的强烈反移情反应至关重要。
