Sequels: Exploring Post-Termination Friendships

This gap is perhaps best explored by considering sequels – instances in which ex-analyst and ex-patient become nonsexual friends post treatment.  The meanings and implications of these post-termination friendships – their complexities, problematic edges, serious difficulties, and the potential therapeutic benefit of this deviation from the termination ideal- are illustrated using the unfinished story of a good treatment and its yet-to-be defined ending.  I aim to interrogate our model of termination and to elucidate the complexities of treatment sequels for both patient and analyst.  

This conference is designed for social workers, psychologists, psychoanalysts, mental health professionals, and psychiatrists, targeting intermediate to advanced level clinicians.
