Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Preparing for termination of the relationship should begin prior to the last meeting to allow for review of whether goals have been met and to prepare for client independence.The orientation phase is too early in the relationship to prepare for termination,and the last meeting is too late.Unfortunately,not all goals are always met,so preparing for termination of the relationship after goals have been met may not be a possibility.
