RPA's Member Spotlight Series: Introducing the Balint Consultation Group Process

Join us for our Member Spotlight Series, featuring Richard Addison, PhD, and Maryellen Curran, PhD

PRESENTATION TOPIC:

Balint Group Process is named after Michael and Enid Balint, a psychoanalyst and a social worker who started facilitating these provider consultation groups at Tavistock Clinic in London for physicians after the Second World War.

This reflective consultation group process enhances understanding of the healing potential of therapeutic relationships while providing a forum for clinical case presentations and consultations.

Balint Group Process uses the power of group process to allow less-conscious aspects of our work with patients to emerge. It provides experiential learning for providers seeking case consultation and support while offering a nourishing antidote to the isolation, burnout and moral distress in psychological care today.
