| Summary: | Myths of Termination confronts and refutes the myths about how psychoanalysis should end--what patients experience and what analysts do. Kantrowitz explores the accounts of 82 former analysands reflecting on the effect of non-mutual endings due to external factors (moving, retirement, illness or death) or psychological factors (wishing to avoid facing some issue); the impact of post-analytic contact; and the ways in which they have held on to their analytic benefits after ending their analyses. |
