The following study in Annals of Family Medicine explores experience of Balint group participation and its influence on work life among general practitioners. A significant influence was found on work life with the following interrelating themes: competence, professional identity, and a sense of security. The themes increased through parallel processes creating a base of endurance and satisfaction; thus, GPs were able to rediscover the joy of being a physician. The overall benefits of Balint group participation include improvements in patient-doctor relationships, improved ability to handle demanding work life and possible prevention of burnout. However, authors advise Balint groups may not suit all GPs and a multifaceted approach should be utilized.
