Forced Endings in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis: Attachment and
Loss in Retirement explores the ambivalence the therapist may feel
about letting go of a professional role which has sustained them.
Anne Power explores the process of closing a private practice, from
the first ethical decision-making, through to the last day when the
door of the therapy room shuts. She draws on the personal accounts
of retired therapists and others who had to impose an ending on
clients due to illness, in order to move house, to take maternity
leave or a sabbatical. A forced ending is an intrusion of the
clinician's own needs into the therapeutic space. Anne Power shows
how this might compromise the work but may also be an opportunity
for deeper engagement. Drawing on attachment theory to understand
how the therapeutic couple cope with an imposed separation, Power
includes interviews with therapists who took a temporary break to
demonstrate the commonality of challenges faced by those who need
to impose an ending on clients. Forced Endings in Psychotherapy and
Psychoanalysis opens up an area which has been considered taboo in
the profession so that future cohorts can benefit from the
reflections and insights of this earlier generation. It will
support clinicians making this transition and aims to support
ethical practice so that clients are not exposed to unnecessary
risks of the sudden termination of a long treatment. This book will
be essential reading for practicing psychotherapists and
psychoanalysts, and to undergraduate and post-graduate students in
clinical psychology, psychiatry and social work
