Termination Of Treatment

overview of their lives and feelings, the therapist will get an insight into what the client is going through and a little of what brought them to their presenting issue. It is important at an early stage to make the client feel that there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel – without making unrealistic promises that cannot be reached. The therapist needs to make the client feel they are in safe hands and that they are being listened to and really heard. A potentially suicidal client should not leave a therapy session feeling worse than when they arrived, yet at the same time, the client needs to know that they may have to go through some difficult times in order to start to heal

It is important, during these final stages, that the counsellor and client can resolve any unfinished business and have time to consider the complex feelings about endings. According to Dryden and Feltham (1994), ‘a fear of loss may cause some clients to cling on to relationships in life and this will obviously have some bearing on the therapeutic relationship.’ As the counsellor, I need to be aware of what an ending might signify for the client, and for me, and manage these ethically and with the guidance of my supervisor.

7). During these times commitment to the client and the therapy is required from the counsellor as well as motivation to ensure therapy will be pursued even when progress may be difficult to achieve. Some clients may precede further though therapy in a shorter space of time whereas other clients may not fully accept or commit to the therapy initially, it is vital that continued support is given to the client throughout this process.

The APA Ethical Principals of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (Section 4.09c) states, "Prior to termination for whatever reason, except where precluded by the patient's or client's conduct, the psychologist discusses the patient's or client's views and needs, provides appropriate predetermination counseling, suggest alternative service providers as appropriate and takes other reasonable steps to facilitate transfer of responsibility to another provider if the patient or client need ones immediately" (American Psychological Association, 1992, pp. 1597-1611).

Once Spike is able to form secure attachments with friends, family, and/or others, a termination date would be established one month in advance. Spike may object, feel rejected, neglected, abandoned, and angry to ending treatment (Gil & Crenshaw, 2015, p. 37). Therefore, it is important to process the client’s thoughts and feelings of parting ways and the kinds of post-treatment experiences that Spike may go through to ease his emotions. In the final sessions, I would review progress made during therapy with Spike, and identify and discuss the remaining challenges he may encounter so that he is aware of his concerns. I would also encourage him to connect with other professionals (i.e., school and psychiatrist) and community

While counseling takes place in stages of gathering information, application of theory to generate relevant goals, treatment, assessment, and termination. Clients and counselor develop a powerful relationship to facilitate changes in their life (Sheperis, D. S., & Ellis, C. M. (2014).

Information will be provided in clear and understandable language to inform all parties of cost, risks and benefits, and limits of confidentiality (ACA, 2014). Clients maintain the right to continue or terminate therapy through the process of informed consent. Informed consent from a client is considered valid when (a) fear, external pressure, and difficulties are not present, (b) clients understand the parameters of informed consent, (c) clients explicitly give written or verbal consent, (d) clients are legally autonomous to do so (American Association for Marriage and Family Therapists, 2015). If clients’ language ability differs from that of written documents, counselors strive to present a written document in a language understandable to them (Human and Health Services, 1995). If a client lacks the capacity give consent due to age or mental status, counselors will protect the confidentiality of information received as required by federal and state laws (ACA, 2014).

The client has every right to choose whether or not they receive the treatment that they are recommended by a counselor. By providing the client with any information that can contribute to them making an informed decision on their treatment plan, we can be sure that we have

Termination can be a difficult task for clients. Premature termination may be even difficult.

Formative evaluation is done to gather ongoing feedback as the group evolves for improving and refining the group to improve outcomes. Summative evaluation’s purpose is to determine whether a group has met its goals and should be continued. Group leaders should also consider methods of evaluating whether the group was implemented and conducted as planned. The

As children, our parents usually put us in an activity to keep us occupied, and often it turns into a passion and defining characteristic. However, even with a history of various sports and hobbies, ten-year-old me still didn’t feel ‘special’ enough. What could I do that nobody else would expect? The fact that drawing came so naturally to me was surprising, seeing as how almost every child likes to draw. Yet, the idea of being an artist felt somehow unique. I never found appeal in art classes and having somebody tell me what to draw, so I taught myself. I adored it, and often found that I was better and more driven than others who had been drawing for years. To this day, I’ve found that if I embrace my own ideas and convey them through my
