In this article, I will respond to the conference title "Building on Balint" by briefly considering some of the inherent obstacles to Balint work, before describing the current state of play in the UK. I will argue that Balint work might benefit from exploring its relationship with attachment theory more fully. In particular, I emphasize an important new role for Balint groups within contemporary health-care organizations-one that enhances a feeling of emotional security for the professional within the organization and also benefits the teamwork and morale of the organization itself. I will give an example of a Balint group in a health-care organization for vulnerable doctors and finish by giving a report on the development of Balint groups for medical students in the UK.
在本文中，我将回应会议主题“基于巴林特理论”，先简要探讨巴林特工作中一些内在的障碍，然后描述英国目前的情况。我将论证，巴林特工作可能会从更全面地探索其与依恋理论的关系中受益。特别是，我强调了巴林特小组在当代医疗保健组织中的一个重要新角色——这个角色能增强组织内专业人员的情感安全感，也有利于组织自身的团队合作和士气。我将举一个为弱势医生设立的医疗保健组织中的巴林特小组的例子，并以英国医学生巴林特小组的发展报告作为结尾。
