Sažetak
Although the need for supervision was recognized by academics in Croatia in late seventies of 20 century there was no organized, supstantial supervision neither practice nor there clear notion of different types of supervision. The war started in 1991. and brought many atrocities and general societal crisis. Several factors played role in bringing the importance of supervision to the surface of psycho-social support during the war-lack of specific knowledge of trauma and loss treatment ; European and American tradition in supervision brought in by foreign humanitarian organizations, both, helpers and helped were wounded. The supervisors were either foreign professionals who came to share their knowledge and offer support or local more experienced professionals who had supervision as part of their pre-war therapy trainings. Most of foreign professionals and non of local ones had proper supervision education. that unfortunatelly caused many mistakes, misunderstandings and hurts, somthimes reinforced by cultural differences. On top of that most of supervisors, both foreign and local were at the same time leaders of some other projects or had a role in the same project where they supervised, what was somthimes confusing and bringing role or interest conflicts. By the time the war was over the helpers population was aware of need for supervision, but a proper education for supervisors was missing. The first training program in supervision that started in 2001. is described.
