The aim of this master's thesis is to achieve the best possible understanding of the unique and individual experience of adult women with eating disorders and the identification of key themes associated with this phenomenon. A qualitative approach was chosen for this work. The specific method selected was Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, which aims to understand the lived experience of individuals. The research sample consists of five women who are currently in middle adulthood. Each of them has experience with a long-standing eating disorder. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews, and their subsequent analysis took place in two steps. Firstly, the experience of each woman and their basic schemas were examined, emphasizing essential characteristics and features of the respondents. Secondly, common themes and categories of the participants were identified. Specifically, these include dysfunctional family environment and trauma, meeting basic needs in a substitute way, objectification, isolation, and self-destruction. The main findings were then anchored in theoretical concepts and existing research. Keywords: eating disorders, middle adulthood, interpretative phenomenological analysis, life story, experience

Work with Biblical Text in Hagiotherapy and in Individual Imaginative Interpretation
Zuzánková, Anna ; Racková, Barbora (advisor) ; Stretti, Sylvie (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with two methods of working with the biblical text in social work, existential hagiotherapy and imaginative interpretation. The primary goal of this work is: Description of the experiences experienced by hagiotherapy group participants and participants of individual imaginative interpretation with biblical text in 2Sam 11. The secondary goal is: Validation of the method of individual imaginative interpretation based on hagiotherapy. Hagiotherapy is already a comprehensive and structured method of working in a group. The method of imaginative interpretation is a method not yet used in practice and represents individual work. The diploma thesis presents this method in the light of an already functional method. The theoretical part deals with the presentation of both methods and their placement in the context of social work. Differences and similarities of the method of hagiotherapy and imaginative interpretation are presented here. At the end of this section, are given possible interpretations of the text. The theoretical part defined terms that were essential for answering the basic research question. The basic research question is: "What lived experience do the religious participants of the hagiotherapy group and the religious participants of the individual imaginative...

Just take a moment to stop. The process of religious conversion in the context of the covid-19 pandemic: an interpretative phenomenological analysis.
Jiřičková, Eva ; Beláňová, Andrea (advisor) ; Viktorová, Ida (referee)
The focus of the thesis is to examine the process of religious conversion to the Roman Cath- olic Church in the context of the covid-19 pandemic. Its main aim is to describe the experi- ence of individuals with religious conversion and the way in which this experience is re- flected in the context of the covid-19 pandemic. Another partial aim is to map the functions of religion from the perspective of the convert and to put these functions in the context of theories of religious coping (how it manifests itself, whether and to what extent is the concept of religious coping strategies appropriate, as regards religious conversion in the context of the covid-19 pandemic). The thesis adopts a qualitative form of psychologic research in which the methods of interpretative phenomenological analysis are applied. The data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews from five converts to the Roman Catholic Church. The result of the analysis is represented by four central topics in which the quality of the experience of religious conversion is described: space of transformation, parallel for life, liberation, and relationship. The heart of experience thus outlined is then related to the functions of religion and theoretical psychological concepts.
