* when preparing for vacation,
* when changing employment
Comments from therapists were interesting, e.g. 'when I'm stuck - Off to
supervision!''
Does progress in music therapy influence team decisions on discharge?
No single answer emerged on this query, partly because several
respondents work in different places which have different methods when
discharging someone or transferring him/her to a different unit.
But what was clear is that it is rare for the RMT's opinion to be critical
in decisions on discharge from a multi-disciplinary unit.
In private work, however, evaluation of progress is a key factor in
decisions about termination.
Causes of termination
Several reasons which lead to termination were listed in the
questionnaire:
* goals achieved
* client stuck
* client is discharged, leaves therapy
* therapist stuck
* illness of client
* patient died
* funds cut
