Abstract
Termination is a complex phase of therapy. Although endings can cause feelings of loss and separation, endings can also lead to new beginnings. The purpose of this capstone was to develop of a method regarding planned termination in art therapy. This capstone reviewed theoretical perspectives, creative rituals, and the use of transitional objects during termination. A three-session intervention was developed based on the literature; this intervention included the artwork created during the course of therapy. Reflections and recommendations are offered for art therapists interested in implementing this intervention.
