Glen Gabbard reflects on the complex and idiosyncratic nature of termination in analysis. He describes how a lack of explicit core theory has encouraged the development of myths and idealized narratives in the psychoanalytic discourse resulting in a problematic split between analysts’ expectations and the realities of the clinical scenario. He suggests the need for a “good enough” paradigm for termination that acknowledges analysis as an ongoing and imperfect process and encourages flexibility and collaboration during this crucial stage.
