Excerpt

Integrated or split/collaborative treatment may continue indefinitely in some cases of serious or recurrent major mental disorder. In many cases, however, integrated and split/collaborative treatment may transition or be terminated by the preference or circumstances of the patient or the recommendation of the psychiatrist. Termination in either model of treatment could mean either simultaneous termination of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy (although this is rarely done) or sequenced termination, with either pharmacotherapy or psychotherapy being transitioned first and the other modality being terminated later.
