We discuss the extension of Gozzi's approach to supersymmetry, based on the ground state representation (GSR) for quantum mechanical systems. The approach leads directly to the supersymmetric extensions of generally covariant systems, whose Hamiltonian constraints H = 0 are naturally in their GSR form. The method is applied to several cases: relativistic particles interacting with external gauge and gravitational fields, strings, etc. copyright 1988 Academic Press, Inc.
