2019 Spokane Balint Leadership Training Intensive is organized by American Balint Society (ABS) and will be held from Apr 25 - 28, 2019 at Ruby River Hotel Spokane, Spokane, Washington, United States of America. Target Audience: The Spokane Leadership Intensive course is appropriate for clinicians new to the Balint Group method as well as experienced Balint Group leaders. The course is well-suited to those who are currently leading, expect to lead in the future, or are seeking a better understanding of Balint groups.  The curriculum is appropriate for physicians (primary care, psychiatry, other specialists), psychologists, social workers, other mental health care providers, and pastoral care providers. Accreditation: This live activity has been reviewed and we have applied for up to 19.25 Prescribed credit(s) by the American Academy of Family Physicians. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. The American Balint Society is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. The American Balint Society maintains responsibility for this program and its content.  This activity is approved for 19 CE credits. Conference Description: The four-day Intensive course is designed to teach Balint Group leadership technique primarily through experiential groups, supplemented by topic-focused small discussion groups and faculty panel discussions. Attendees will have ample time to present cases, practice leading a Balint Group, and engage informally with other participants. Faculty-guided debrief sessions provide participants opportunities to receive feedback on their practice sessions in a safe and supportive setting. Participants emerge from the course with a deeper understanding of Balint Group leadership techniques and responsibilities. This course is given twice a year, sometimes more often. Each offering has unique aspects because of the mix of faculty and the specific cases offered in the Balint groups themselves. Conference Goals: At the end of the training, attendees will be able to: • Describe verbal and non-verbal behaviors of Balint Group leaders. • Recognize the effectiveness of different leadership interventions.  • Identify the process and progression of a Balint Group, over multiple group sessions.  • Define the new perspective of a presenter as a result of the Balint Group process. Requirements Participants should be clinically active and willing to present one of their cases. Because group cohesiveness affects participants’ experience of the course, registrants are asked to commit to attending all sessions and to attend each session in its entirety. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
