Description
The Theory and Practice of Balint Group Work Analyzing Professional Relationships by Heide Otten is a practical guide to Balint groups and their relevance in modern healthcare. This book explores how the therapeutic relationship influences the development of Balint's work, and demonstrates its application with various professional and student groups.
Heide Otten shares her own case material and provides suggestions for creative elements such as sculpting, role play, and psychodrama to enhance group work. The book concludes by discussing research findings and how the practice can be extended to other professional groups.
This guide is essential for psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic psychotherapists, counsellors, and medical practitioners looking to introduce or deepen their understanding of Balint's ideas in their day-to-day practice. It will also appeal to others working in the helping professions seeking to strengthen the therapeutic relationship.
