Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Describe the impact of Balint in the development of a person-centred model of general practice in the last 50 years
- Explain the meaning and relevance of the Balint aphorisms
- Describe how a Balint group functions and the desired outcomes for its members
- Describe how an awareness of Balint’s ideas can contribute to a doctor’s ability to deal with emotion and subjectivity in the consultation
Today, the value of the patient-centred consultation model is widely recognised. This is largely due to the influential work of Michael and Enid Balint in the mid 20th century.
