Abstract

Abstract This paper has been written to highlight counter-transference issues with a disabled and terminally ill client and to raise some of the issues that arise when a client dies at the end of a long-established counselling relationship. The importance of maintaining a therapeutic frame in psychodynamic counselling is reviewed and a case study of a young counselling trainee in therapy as a requirement of her course is presented, followed by a discussion of the dilemmas encountered as her health dramatically declined and after her death. In this work the terms counselling and therapy are used interchangeably.
