This is a reference work with original contribution, a monograph on historical data on the beginning and development of psychotherapy as a profession in Croatia. The author has put a tremendous effort in collecting the data and writing this text, providing us with extensive information about all registered psychotherapeutic approaches in our country and how they gradually appeared.
The author looks back to the beginnings of psychotherapy before the Second World War and documents the institutional development of psychotherapy, which began after the Second World War, in great detail. The status of psychotherapy during the Homeland War and the post-war period with the emergence of psychotherapeutic societies is given a special attention, as well as the creation of an umbrella psychotherapeutic association. The last chapter is dedicated to the possibilities of further development of psychotherapy in Croatia and the possibilities of research in psychotherapy and the creation of the identity of psychotherapists.
Prof.dr.sc. Ljiljana Moro,
The work of the author represents the only extensive full summary of the development of psychotherapy in Croatia in English language to date. It gives a meta-perspective of the establishment and development of psychotherapy in Croatia over the years. The author has told the story through expert interviews complemented with archival research.
The work can serve as a starting point not only for the studies exploring the development and future direction of individual schools of psychotherapy in Croatia, but also for evaluating the context in neighbouring countries.
