Describing countertransference feelings and conflicts towards end of treatment is difficult for analysts and the literature on termination tends to focus on what should happen not what does. The inherent incompleteness and inevitable frustrations of patient's and analyst's wishes can throw both into confusion at the very point when the wish for certainty and completion is heightened. This paper describes a case where patient and analyst repeatedly felt thrown into doubt about whether and how analysis should end.

Objectives: Normalization of deviance (NOD) occurs when individuals and teams depart from acceptable performance standards until the adopted way of practice becomes the new norm. There is little research on the incidence of NOD in health care, and there is no validated instrument to measure it. Identification and quantification of NOD is critical for the evaluation of the effectiveness of interventions designed to reduce its adverse consequences.
