SUMMARY:Annual Balint Group Weekend of Hungarian Bálint Mihály Psychosomatic Society of Hungary
DESCRIPTION:The Balint method originated from the work of a Hungarian-born physician\, psychoanalyst. From Bálint’s original work it has spread worldwide — where do we stand today? \nWe warmly invite physicians\, mental health clinicians\, and professionals in the helping professions to our 16th Balint Group Weekend. Participants will take part in a four-session Balint group process\, a large group experience\, and a professional community in which diversity is a core value. \nThe program will include a lecture and interactive discussion – with a primary care physician trained in psychotherapy (also Balint group leader) and a primary care physician\, member of a Balint group -\, addressing the question: Is psychoanalytic training necessary for effective Balint group work? The diversity of a Balint group comes from its participants. A single clinical case or therapeutic relationship evokes different emotional responses\, associations\, and reflections in each group member. Every participant’s contribution is equally important— what remains unspoken is also a loss to the group. As Andor Harrach described\, we support one another by making ourselves available. While the group works\, the case presenter observes the “movie” unfolding both within the group and within themselves. This process offers a multidimensional perspective on the clinical encounter and the therapeutic relationship\, helping to reduce emotional burden\, professional distress\, and clinical impasse. \nREGISTRATION \nPlease note: registration is valid only after submission of the completed registration form and payment. \nEarly registration deadline: April 2 (11:59 PM) \nBank transfer available until April 30. After this date\, payment is accepted in cash\, on site only. \nInvoices can be issued only to the billing address associated with the bank transfer. \nclick HERE  for further information\,the program and registration form: INVITATION_2026BalintWeekend

SUMMARY:24th International Balint Congress 2026 - Aarhus\, Denmark
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce that the 24th International Balint Congress is taking place in Aarhus\, Denmark\, October 1. – 4. in 2026. \nCONFERENCE THEME: \nConnected\, Committed and Contained \n“The individual never has to do with another human being without holding something of that person’s life in his hand. It may be a very small matter\, involving only a passing mood\, a dampening or quickening of spirit\, a deepening or removal of some dislike. But it may also be a matter of tremendous scope\, such that the individual can determine if the life of the other flourishes or not.” \nThe citation is from ‘The Ethical Demand’\, written by K. E. Løgstrup in 1952\, when he was the professor of theology at the University of Aarhus.P \nFOR FURTHER DETAILS AND TO BOOK PLEASE VISIT https://balintinternational2026.dk/
