Sažetak
Conflict and the war in the Balkans results in huge number of all kinds of war victims in need of psychological help. Professionals tried to meet these growing demands by developing treatment programs within official health care system or within nongovernmental organisations. Tretament approaches were developed according possibilities, number of clients, number of professionals and their educational background. In addition the professionals themselves were living in the war circumstances and often overwhelmed with traumatised clients. All these influenced the treatment approaches and outcomes. The studies of outcomes and effectiveness of such treatments are still rare. Within the STOP-study (Priebe et al., 2003), 400 clients suffering from PTSD in 4 specialised tretament centres in Croatia, Bill and Serbia were included in assessment of treatment effectivness. The specialised treatment strategies differed from individual therapy, group therapy to combined treatments programs. They were assessed using several standardised instruments on posttraumatic stress (CAPS), general psychopathology (BSI), and quality of life (MANSA) before starting the treatment program, after three months and after one year. In the second and the third assessment the structured questionnaire on the satisfaction with treatment on the side of client and on the side of therapist was added. The findings on outcomes of presented specialised treatment strategies will be presented, and the results will be discussed in the frame of organisational possibilities and social circumstances within which the post-war recovery take place.
