Abstract: The aim of the comparative research is to analyze the role of the implicit attitudes of clients towards the treatment in the context of three therapeutic communities for drug addiction treatment in Peru, Nicaragua and the Czech Republic. The purpose is to carry out a cross-cultural qualitative research on the perception of the drug addiction treatment in a unique cultural background in each of the selected countries. The first part of the thesis is devoted to the concept of development of the attitudes of the clients for the specific treatment and the role culture plays in it in the context of intercultural psychology. This part continues with theoretical attitudes towards the models of therapeutic communities and the background for each of the case studies: Takiwasi, CEA and Sejřek. The theoretical part is concluded by the research on international aid regarding drug abuse in each of the regions. The second part of the thesis – the empirical part – is the content analysis of implicit attitudes of clients towards the treatment in the selected facilities taking into account sociocultural characteristics of the case study. The comparative research consists of 30 semi-structured deep interviews analyzed through stages of open coding, selective and axial coding, providing a background for the paradigmatic model. The main content analysis is supported by the additional, initial version of the discourse analysis.
