Balint online sessions with Amanda Garland

In Balint groups members seek to understand the meaning of a patient’s behaviour and symptoms. Groups achieve this through case presentations; exploration of the felt experience of the patient, the clinician, and what might be going on between them within the consultation. The focus on understanding each clinical situation rather than offering solutions contributes to a growth in each clinician’s practice. Clinicians may become aware of their particular blind spots which create habitual and unhelpful ways of responding to particular sorts of patients or situations. They become freer to respond more accurately to the needs of the patient. They may also become more aware of their individual strengths.
