Termination in midadolescence.
At the start of the terminal phase, the patient wrestled with the conflict of whether to leave treatment and establish himself as a self-reliant young man or cling to the analyst, who represented, ambivalently, significant protective power. The resolution of the transference neurosis during the termination phase of a six-year analysis in this midadolescent bore a strong resemblance to work with adults.
