Beyond Balint: A Group-analytic Support Model for Traumatized Doctors

Gerhard Wilke

gerhard{at}gerhardwilke.com

The UK Primary Health Care Reforms dating from 1990 have resulted in traumatic stress for General Practitioners (GPs) within the UK National Health Service (NHS). Previously, their first task had always been to provide care. Now the objectives are purely economic, focusing on cost-effectiveness and meeting Government targets. This article compares the Balint Model, set out by Michael and Edna Balint in the 1950s, to what is required in the current situation, and shows how group analysis can help GPs come to terms with their new professional identity and how they see their future.

Key Words: Balint Model • matrix model of medicine • supervision • Primary Health Care • GPs (General Practitioners)
