ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the various ways therapists can be intentional in their actions when a clinical treatment ends—the way actors take a bow at the end of each performance. The relationships therapists cultivate in their intimate time with clients do not terminate, but evolve inside each participant. And though the visits to the therapist end and not the therapy itself, therapists still must face one final live moment with their clients and decide what to do with it. Various examples are given of what therapists can do when treatments come to an end.
