avklaring
Explanation:
Hvis "closure" betyr "achieve peace with the outcome", ville jeg oversatt det med "avklaring". Fant et par referanser for "følelsesmessig avklaring":

Takk alle sammen. Beklager upresist spörsmaal, men som jente saa er det vel kanskje logisk at closure handler om fölelser först;o)

Om fölelsesmessig closure: Kan være "bearbeidelse", eller mer nøyaktig: "å bli ferdig med det" eller "å komme over det" men det kan også være helt andre ting. Kommer an på... kontekst :)

avklaring


Explanation:
Hvis "closure" betyr "achieve peace with the outcome", ville jeg oversatt det med "avklaring". Fant et par referanser for "følelsesmessig avklaring":

Example sentence(s):
  • Forsoning brukes også som en følelsesmessig avklaring for å komme videre i en. integreringsprosess.
  • En selverkjennelsesprosess må følgelig innebære både intellektuell og følelsesmessig avklaring, eller riktigere sagt: En avklaring som involverer følelser

Asker: Inte dumt. Takker for dette:o)

Asker: Forsoning virker faktisk best. Avklaring gir deg oversikt, mens forsoning gir deg closure...

avslutning


Explanation:
It's hard to provide a solid translation for a flighty source term. Closure in a psych setting would mean to achieve a conclusion to a situation, to lay the matter at rest, to achieve peace with the outcome - all in all, "avslutning" may not be the sexiest of terms, but it should work well here.

Etter å ha tittet litt rundt, og funnet 7090 treff for 'psykologi +closure' (merk språkblandingen), observerer jeg at i gitte sammenhenger vil det enkle 'svar' utgjøre et greit alternativ for closure.
