The training of Balint group leaders is conducted in Greece under the auspices of the British Balint Society that provides the accreditation upon successful completion of training. The prospective group leaders are usually doctors and psychologists who have a considerable experience as group members (in an ongoing group or in Balint weekends and workshops) and have the desire to train as leaders. The training in leadership includes the co-leading of groups with an accredited leader, individual and group supervision and the participation of the trainees in theoretical seminars.
For more information on the training programme you can contact the Responsible person for training of the Hellenic Balint Groups, Mrs Lida Bitrou, at [email protected] or by phone at 210 8016400.
