ABSTRACT
For both therapists and the population at large, the first half of that equation is often associated with the term "closure", a term with as diverse a set of meanings as there are individuals. Clients may have a fantasy of having a final communicative or physical encounter that will allow them to leave the old relationship behind with more positive feelings than which they are currently experiencing. Closure, as a concept, is more often a myth than a reality. As a result, one therapeutic goal is to help the client psychologically grasp the concept of closure as a myth and teach him/her to let go of the neurotic need. Several client responses can be anticipated as a result of this particular intervention. 'Closure is overrated' has long been a therapeutic theory that the author have postulated and communicated to their clients through a variety of interventions.
