(in English): This thesis explores the possibilities of facilitating post-traumatic growth in the context of individual psychotherapy. The theoretical part summarizes the state of current knowledge on post-traumatic growth. In order to take a more comprehensive view, post-traumatic growth is situated within the broader framework of the trauma therapy process. The theoretical part is concluded with an introduction to the possibilities of facilitating post-traumatic growth. The empirical part deals with the experiences of practicing psychotherapists with post- traumatic growth within their individual practice. The qualitative research focuses on what therapists consider to be the goals of trauma therapy, how therapists conceptualize post- traumatic growth, in what areas and forms they encounter it in their clients, and how they believe they can influence it. Data are collected through semi-structured interviews conducted with nine psychotherapists and further analyzed using a thematic analysis method. Data analysis led to the discovery of sixteen major themes that relate to the therapist's way of thinking about and dealing with post-traumatic growth during psychotherapy sessions.

Minářová, Ludmila ; Loneková, Katarína (advisor) ; Šípová, Ivana (referee)
This thesis explores the relationship between flow and mindfulness. The theoretical part of the thesis defines common elements of both concepts and differences between them. The first quantitative research is a correlational analysis that examines strength of the relationship between flow in everyday activities as measured by the Dispositional Flow Scale-2 (DFS-2) and mindfulness as measured by the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) in the Czech adult population (N = 2129). Results showed a moderately strong correlation between flow and mindfulness (r = 0.54). DFS-2 dimensions challenge-skill balance, clear goals, unambiguous feedback, total concentration on the task at hand, and sense of control correlated most strongly with the FFMQ. Dimensions action-awareness merging and transformation of time were weakly negatively correlated with the FFMQ. A new English translation of the DFS 2 was created for the purpose of this study. The second quantitative research is a quasi- experimental study using a three-group pretest-posttest design. Its aim was to measure the effect of mindfulness courses (MBSR, MBCT and MBCT L) on the development of flow and mindfulness. A group of participants in mindfulness courses (N = 13) was compared with participants in guided yoga classes (N = 18) and a passive...

Janáková, Kristína ; Niederlová, Markéta (advisor) ; Loneková, Katarína (referee)
The main goal of the diploma thesis is to examine the issue of psycho-social contexts of eating habits and their experience in athletes. The theoretical part summarizes the findings to date on the issue of nutrition and eating disorders in athletes and possible preventive measures. The empirical part presents qualitative research on a sample of six Czech and Slovak athletes. The research is carried out through a semi-structured in-depth interview and three diagnostic questionnaires. The information obtained is processed into individual case studies and an overall summary. Due to the size of the research population and the nature of the study, it is not possible to generalize the results to the entire population of athletes. In a specific research cohort, all respondents had a negative comment related to body weight or physical appearance as a risk factor leading to nutritional problems. The main protective factor for all respondents was social support and support from their relatives. The outputs provide many recommendations for athletes, coaches and other specialists who work with athletes. Keywords psycho-social factors of eating habits, disordered eating, eating disorders in sport, female athlete triad, relative energy deficiency in sport, LMI, prevention of eating disorders in sport
