Endings – planned or unplanned – can be tough, both for the client and the clinician, as termination is fraught with emotional dynamics. Yet endings, if navigated properly, can also be healing and serve as powerful growth points. In addition, as clinicians, we are ethically bound to manage this process with the client’s best interest in mind. In this webinar, we will explore how clinicians can facilitate positive and ethical termination experiences with their clients. We will discuss clinician- and client-initiated endings and examine the psychological dynamics inherent in each. We will also review the best ethical practices when it comes to managing client referrals, planned breaks such as vacations, and (un)expected interruptions of service.

Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:

Identify different ways that a clinical relationship with a client can end
Determine how to navigate terminations with clients ethically
Recognize the psychological dynamics that are a part of the termination process, both for the client as well as for the clinician
Describe how to ethically manage referrals, planned breaks, and interruptions of service
