Children from institutional and temporary foster care in a new home through the eyes of substitute parents
Zdražilová, Elen ; Novotná, Hana (advisor) ; Presslerová, Pavla (referee)
This work deals with the comparison and in-depth analysis of some psychological aspects (especially problematic of attachment) in children currently living in foster care or adoption with experience in two types of early care - institutional care and foster care for a temporary period during the first year of life. The investigated areas were manifestations of attachment and significant manifestations of behavior, experience and relationality in these children. The aim of the work was to compare the effect of both forms of care on the psyche of the child and the deeper connections between the observed phenomena. The research was conducted in the form of qualitative semi-structured interviews with foster parents or adopters of the children under investigation. The results of the research show that investigated children from the temporary foster care, despite the often unsatisfactory quality of care provided, have more favorable manifestations in most of the investigated areas than children from institutional care, and they retain the ability to establish an intimate relationship with the caregiver. However, children show higher levels of anxiety and uncertainty. The investigated children from institutional care showed signs of impaired emotional attachment and other difficulties in behavior and in...

Foster care for a temporary period
Skryjová, Lucie ; Radvanová, Senta (advisor) ; Frinta, Ondřej (referee)
FOSTER CARE FOR A TEMPORARY PERIOD This thesis describes and critically judges the legal regulation, practice and purpose of foster care for a temporary period in the Czech Republic. Children temporarily or permanently deprived of their family environment or children, who cannot be left in such environment, are entitled to a special protection and assistance granted by the state in one of alternative care forms. The Czech Republic is criticized for a long time by the international organizations because of numbers of children placed in any type of institutional care. Consequently, the amendment of the Act N. 359/1999 Coll., on social and legal protection of children, has been approved in June 2006. This amendment has established a new legal institute called "the foster care for a temporary period". The function of this institute is to avoid a placement of children to an institutional care in the case, when the children can not stay in the original family because of whatever reason however there is a presumption of re-entry to that original family. Parents still have their parental responsibilities and still have right to keep in touch with their child. The thesis is composed of six chapters, which are subdivided into subchapters. Chapter One deals with the historical development of foster care. Chapter Two...
