Abstract
This article identifies issues related to ending psychotherapy and suggests an addition to Berne's (1966) three methods of termination. Drawing on the professional literature concerning transactional analysis, dying, death, mourning, and bereavement, the author outlines seven tasks in the process of ending TA psychotherapy.
