Abstract:
Balint Method is developed by Balint, M. born in Hungary and opened his clinic in London as a gneral practitioner. He developed his way of medical interview by “listening” to the patient.
He tried to understand a patient bio-psychosocially. He began his group-work (so called Balint group) in order to educate general practitioners so that they could understand their patients as whole persons. Further more, his group work makes it possible to understand doctor-patient relationship, and doctor's attitude objectively.
Now, this group work is performed all around the world to educate docter's attitude before and after the graduation of medical schools.
