Parsons presents clearly and with necessary detail the analysis, still incomplete, of a girl long known to the Anna Freud Center, who had undergone two partial analyses; she was fifteen when she began with Parsons. The bulk of the paper is a discussion of many problems about termination. Peggy had suffered parental deprivation: her father mostly absent, her mother neurotic, selfish, and inadequate, yet trying to do her best for her child. This history greatly complicated termination of treatment: Peggy could not easily work out her oedipal conflict; she faced realistic anxieties; her mourning, which is required in termination, was interfered with. Her mother could not let her go, and the patient was affected by the loss of two previous therapists. Parsons lucidly shows how these and other difficulties impeded—and will impede, for the analysis is by no means complete—Peggy's termination.
