The process of terminating psychotherapy or counseling with a client typically occurs in one of three ways: Clinician’s choice, client’s choice or by mutual agreement. Why would a clinician terminate working with the client?

  1. They are tired of working with the client
  2. The clinician is experiencing life changes
  3. They do not think the client is making progress
  4. Clinician’s do not terminate counseling with a client
Explanation

Answer - B - One likely reason why a clinician would end seeing a client is when they might be retiring from practice, leaving the agency, or making another life change that would necessitate ending treatment. These decisions are not made lightly and usually engender a great deal of planning on the part of the clinician and the agency.  It is important the proper procedure for sending a termination letter is followed to create documentation.
