ABSTRACT

Trauma-informed group supervision is a novel way of providing much-needed supervision to trauma helpers. We describe a structured group supervision method originally developed for Western trauma supervisors. Core features of the method are two identification rounds: first, identification with the client as a person and, second, identification with the position of the case presenter. We explain why we designed this structured identification approach and elaborate its main features. This method has been applied in many intercultural contexts and post-conflict regions of the world. Finally, we formulate some basics of intercultural application and contracting for group supervision.
