4th Biennial ABS National Meeting

Hearing the Patient, Healing the Clinician

This conference marks the 30th year of the American Balint Society, founded to explore and promote the therapeutic potential of clinician-patient relationships. Those relationships lie at the core of clinical practice and can be powerful for our patients and ourselves. Hearing the Patient, Healing the Clinician invites practitioners across disciplines to share lessons learned about creating, enhancing and restoring therapeutic clinical relationships. Join us as we celebrate 30 years of working with what Michael Balint called "the center of medicine".
