The theoretical part is followed by an empirical part. The aim of the research investigation was to find out what psychosocial consequences young adult stutterers face and how these can be minimised. To achieve this aim, a qualitative research method was chosen. All the necessary data were collected through semi-structured interviews, which were conducted in two phases - the first interviews were conducted with the stutterers themselves, and after coding the collected data, interviews were conducted with experts who provided their view on the information from the stutterers. The results of the research investigation were used to answer the set research questions and also to define the grounded theory.

Vlasáková, Jana ; Daďová, Klára (advisor) ; Malá, Michaela (referee)
Name: Assessment of the "New speaking" method in the treatment of stuttering Objectives: Stuttering is a serious speech disorder where the consequences can significantly handicap individuals. Except the common logopedic care, there are also different alternative methods, including group therapy with the name "New speaking". The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to evaluate the effect of this method from the perspective of two graduates. Methods: The main used method was exploratory (interview). Two subjects (female - 26 years old and male - 19 years old) participated in the case study. The interview consisted of fourteen questions. Results: Based on the analysis of the interviews it is possible to state that the "New Speech" method is working when the rules are followed. Absolvents perceive a subjectively significant improvement of speech with social and psychological consequences. Improvement in the social area can be supported by the fact that subjects are able to speak under all conditions and also that they perceive increase of job possibilities. The psychological improvement was less visible. It is suggested to work on their self-confidence and hardiness. Key words: speech disorder, stuttering, group therapy
