Abstract	The purpose of this study is to examine novice art therapists’ experiences of treatment termination. To this end, in-depth interview was conducted with 9 novice art therapists with experiences of treatment termination to collect data and the data was analyzed through consensual qualitative research methods. Based on the result of the analysis, the novice art therapists’ treatment termination experiences were categorized into five domains in total including ‘termination preparation experience’, ‘termination session experience’, ‘internal difficulties after termination’, ‘difficulty overcoming experience’, and ‘growth experience.’ Then, these categories were divided into 17 subcategories. The results show that various factors experienced by novice art therapists in the treatment termination process, as well as the termination process itself, can help them grow further as therapists. This study is expected to provide meaningful insights, based on review over novice art therapists’ treatment termination experiences. Also it is expected to allow novice art therapists to have better understanding of treatment-termination experiences to improve their expertise and provide basic data for academic research on the subject.
