The termination phase of brief psychotherapy has received noteworthy attention. We offer perspectives on the process of termination in brief therapy. The literature suggests that either a major or a minimal emphasis be accorded the termination phase. Ending brief therapy should be consistent with the nature of the therapeutic relationship, its focus, and the goals of treatment.
