In the early 1950s, the psychoanalysts Michael and Enid Balint established within the Tavistock Clinic an innovative coevals for general practitioners (GPs). The goal was to make a forum of family doctors to debate case studies of a psychosocial nature and to supply them with psychotherapeutic tools to raised help their patients. What started as alittle coevals of GPs in London became, by the 1960s, a worldwide medical movement which still exists today. this text traces the cultural and social origins of the Balint Groups movement, and aims to contextualize it within the ‘psychosocial turn’ of interwar and postwar Britainthe need of general practice to renew itself as a profession after WWII and therefore the refore the introduction of the then NHS; and the flourishing of a replacement welfarist ideology within the postwar years.
