The work of Balint revisited
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 June 2014
Extract
This paper summarises the work of Michael Balint, offers a revisionist view of his work, and argues that the new term heartsink is an indication that the problems Balint addressed need to be re-examined.
The richness of Michael Balint's life was documented by Hopkins. The variety of his professional experiences meant that he was able to create a fertile atmosphere in which GPs felt free to express feelings about themselves and their patients. The Balint movement was based upon the talents of an exceptional man.
