abstract = {Upon following the way of the ‘Balint idea’ - which was
originally conceived and developed for general practitioners
– it is apparent that over the last few decades there is a
clear development internationally with varied modifications
and increase in the type of techniques and methods (less in
its targets). The essence of the Balint idea has continued
unchanged. Balintgroups are nowadays often heterogenous: The
participation of young doctors, older experienced doctors
and other professional groups like psychologists, nursing
stuff or ergotherapists (professional groups which work in
interactionfields: “integrated Balintwork”), in the same
way as the integration of role play elements, of systemic,
imaginative conceivabilities and techniques in the groups,
have clearly enlarged the range of application and let
different professional groups benefit together from the
Balintwork. The integration of this varied knowledge
perspective of the patient into the Balintwork offers a
valuable exchange and within here lays among other things
its clinical and practical gain: everyone learns from the
other one independent of there niveau of graduation or
profession. The use of pictures, poems, sounds and role
plays in the Balintwork can sharpen the understanding and
make clear moments of transference, countertransference or
resistance. The doctor-patient relationship is still the
epicentre of the common work undertaken by the participants
of a Balintgroup. The relation to the patient is for a
Balintdoctor more wholistic resp. integrated and
patientorientated. Balintwork gives the doctor a more
precise, empathic and practicable understanding of the
doctor-patient relationship. The relief of the pressure of
apostolic postulates, the giving up of omnipotence-fantasies
and the verbalization of helplessness brings the
participants more satisfaction, resulting in less of
frustration and burnout. All these contribute to the psycho
hygiene. The participants become more confident, more
effective, more relaxed and more human. To follow up the
future developpment of Balintwork a stanardisated evaluation
is essential. With this thesis a perfected concept of a
questionary with all essential aspects of Balintwork has
been created besides providing a thorough analysis of the
actual questionary. This concept of questionary can be used
in further investigations. Essential are the facts that the
participants of the questionary in further investigations
should have an experience in Balintwork of at least three
years or that the participants should have comparable
duration of experience in Balintwork. A questionary to
evaluate the function of co leaders has been created in this
thesis, which until now has been less investigated. The
limits between the different procedures with their different
settings had become over the years more and more fluent.
Balintwork is conducted in different ways, in different
composition and with variant integrated elements. In some
places, there exist ambitions to adapt the framework of
Balintwork to the different necessities of the participiants
in our time. But first, the main question has to be
answered, in which direction Balintwork should be
developped. Should the traditional method of Balintwork be
conserved, should it develop within the essential skeletal
structure or should it open up towards other fields and
change within them? It is possible to delimit the different
settings that are named Balintwork better from each other
and to let them develop each one by itself, to satisfy
requirements and targets of the particular group.},
