Destigmatization of mental illness and psychohygiene in Czech society
Římková, Karolína ; Vinopal, Jiří (advisor) ; Podaná, Zuzana (referee)
(in English): The diploma thesis is focused on the attitude of Czech society towards depressive disorders and practiced ways of psychohygiene. The aim was to verify changes in attitude over time and to identify specific predictors that contribute to this change. The main hypothesis is based on the current situation where there is an increase in the number of people who have the disease and those who take antidepressants, so a less stigmatizing attitude can be expected. The verification of the hypothesis of the diploma thesis was based on a questionnaire survey of a sample of 1022 respondents. Attitudes were analyzed using the RIBS scale and multiple regression analysis. The results confirmed the influence of age, experience with mental health education and the use of antidepressants on attitude. Other parts of the analysis focused on phenomena related to stigma such as mental literacy and lifestyle. Based on the questionnaire survey, it was possible to map the destigmatization of social attitudes and current trends in mental health care. In conclusion, the thesis deals with recommendations that are based on the findings of the survey and could support the destigmatization of mental illness and depression in the future.

Selmbacherová, Tereza ; Buriánek, Jiří (advisor) ; Podaná, Zuzana (referee)
This thesis presents postpenitentiary care / after care and its basic definition. It also discusses the use of coaching approaches in the after-care. The main objective of this thesis is to design and test the suitability and efficiency of leadership coaching approaches in after-care interviews. In the introduction of coaching approaches, I present the results from tests done with a research group made of former prisoners from facilities based in Prague, who left in the period between 17th 2010 and 24 5th The 2011th. A key finding is that researchers proved the suitability of the use of variable roles. In the following thesis, I define the three main borders and two roles that can be used for client access. The basic forms of access to clients can be identified as the approach of coach, child behavioral / ethopedy and social worker. Boundary roles can be described as a role transition between the essential roles. Through roles based on current client's needs, it can help to develop various personalised ways towards the independence. This thesis can serve as input into the area of after-care treatment. It also introduces a possibility to access after-care providers by enriching other possible approaches to clients.

Celebrity stalking
Kolínská, Viktorie ; Podaná, Zuzana (advisor) ; Krulichová, Eva (referee)
As Meloy (1998: 4) says: "Stalking is an old behavior, but a new crime. Postmodern society which is evolving not only in real environment but also in multimedia cyber-space brings much more instruments and trends where stalking can be realized. I focus my bachelor work on celebrity stalking, a specific type of stalking in which celebrities are the victims. Scholarly research on stalking exists and focuses on domestic violence, working environment, or other kinds of harassment. Celebrity stalking cases, however become public through the media especially from particular cases, mainly those of foreign celebrities, presented as tabloid articles. Because of the lack of formal research on celebrity stalking, I analyze the common forms and connections in celebrity stalking. My research is based on 5 qualitative interviews with celebrities who are victims of stalking. I try to define relationship between respondents and their fans where I am focusing on break point of change from common fan into chaser. Then I show manifestations of celebrity stalking compared with "common stalking". Keywords: Celebrity stalking, stalking, celebrity, media, funs 2
