Thematic Apperception test in drug users
Slavíčková, Tereza ; Goldmann, Petr (advisor) ; Soukupová, Tereza (referee)
SLAVÍČKOVÁ, T. Tématicko apercepční test u uživatelů drog. Pedagogická fakulta Univerzity Karlovy v Praze, 2012. 140 s. Diplomová práce. Diplomová práce měla za cíl odhalit specifika použití TAT u problémových a závislých uživatelů drog a na základě srovnání s výsledky, kterých v testu dosáhla kontrolní skupina, přinést evidenci pro zhodnocení diagnostického potenciálu TAT u uživatelů drog. Výzkumné šetření bylo provedeno v Kolíně na klientech nízkoprahového kontaktního centra, které poskytuje služby harm reduction skryté populaci uživatelů nealkoholových drog. Těžiště výzkumu bezprostředně souvisí s metodou analýzy příběhů, jejichž vyprávění bylo u probandů vyvoláno předložením tabulí TAT. K analýze příběhů byl použit psychometricky zakotvený skórovací systém SCORS (Social Cognition - Object Relation Scale) současného amerického autora D. Westena. Použití TAT u uživatelů drog tak bylo zaměřeno na zhodnocení úrovně jejich fungování v sociálních vztazích. Metodologický princip diplomové práce tkví v induktivním usuzování a statistickém zpracování dat. Způsob zpracování dat, který je až na několik oblastí výhradně v režii kvantitativních metod, spolu s dostatečně velkým souborem zkoumaných osob umožňuje zobecnění důležitých rozdílů ve výsledcích TAT u výzkumné a kontrolní skupiny. V rámci analýzy...

Novotná, Hana ; Soukupová, Tereza (advisor) ; Goldmann, Petr (referee)
This thesis deals with a possibility of measuring levels of social skills using the Social Orientation Scale (SOS) in stories made up with the Thematic Apperception Test. In the theoretical part we introduce the Thematic Apperception Test, the scoring systems used to interpret it and the Social Orientation Scale of Goldmann and Soukupová. This part also introduces the concept of social competence, describe the characteristics of an adolescence development stage and specifics of youth detention centers, their clients and a problematic behavior observed at most of them. In the empirical part we compare two groups of adolescents, each consisting of 30 probands. The first group was made up by girls and boys currently undergoing a diagnostic stay in youth detention centers, while the second group consisted of their same-age peers from an ordinary population. To obtain the basic characteristics of the subjects under test, we employ semi-structured anamnestic interview. Furthermore, the Thematic Apperception Test is evaluated using the Social Orientation Scale and the results thereof are statistically analysed. Our research focuses mainly on figuring out the differences in the competence levels reached at the particular tables and as a whole. Besides that, the stories are analyzed content-wise, focusing...

Podstavková, Cecílie ; Goldmann, Petr (advisor) ; Soukupová, Tereza (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with a subjective experiencing of four respondents at acute stage of paranoid schizophrenia and their satisfaction with a treatment and content of time during hospitalization at one of the departments of psychiatry in the Bohnice hospital. It was found out that patients were most satisfied with a care of department's staff. However, a moderate criticism of different departments appeared as well. It was especially criticism of departments with restricted access. As far as experiencing the acute stage of the disorder is concerned, various existential problems, fears, chaotic and odd thinking as well as problems concerning relationships with close people appeared to be related to the disorder itself. The contribution of the thesis is that it points out a possibility of better integration of patients into a cooperation during the treatment through their own understanding of their disease and understanding of their experience. The first part of the thesis defines a concept of schizophrenia from different theoretical points of view which complement one another rather than being in opposition. There are basics of psychiatric knowledge about the illness mentioned in the thesis as well as psychological aspects from psychodynamic theorists' and practitioners' points of view, neuro-...

Social Problem - Solving Skills in Children with Conduct Disorders
Chmelová, Markéta ; Goldmann, Petr (advisor) ; Soukupová, Tereza (referee)
The current thesis examines coping strategies in children diagnosed with conduct disorder (CD). Social problem-solving skills are considered to be one of the key social skills. The assumption is that children with CD have worse social problem-solving skills compared to children without diagnosed CD. The aim of the study is not only answering the hypothesis, but also describing component skills and comparing with contemporary doctrins. A group of childrem with diagnosed CD (n=15) and group without diagnosed CD (n=15) is examined by Thematic Apperception Test (Murray,1971). Data were scored by Personal Problem-Solving System (PPSS-R) (Ronan, 2008). Results of the comparison of two groups suggest that children with diagnosed CD have deficits in their social problem-solving skills. Four aspects of social competence were assessed. Children with CD reached worse results in all component scores: the cognitive processing of problem, the emotive processing of problem, the ability to find and propose solutions of the problem and the ability to master effectively social problems. Both groups reached the best results in cognitive processing of the problem. The group of children with CD reached the worse results in emotive processing of the problem. The group of children without CD reached the worse results in proposing...

Kuhnová, Eva ; Soukupová, Tereza (advisor) ; Goldmann, Petr (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with themes of Apperception techniques and Pathogenesis Index. The text is divided in two parts - theoretical and empirical. The theoretical part introduces techniques based on the process of apperception, their nature and history. I am dealing closer with some specific techniques widespread worldwide, but the most space is devoted to the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT). A very important part of the thesis is a chapter devoted to Pathogenesis Index - the scoring system used to analyze TAT - its creation, utilization, psychometric properties. The translation of the scoring manual is the part of this charter. Because of working with the parents of schizophrenics in empirical part, the introduction of schizophrenia disease and the impacts of family background on the origin and development of schizophrenia are present in the theoretical part. The empirical part is devoted to the use of the Pathogenesis Index in practice. Research questions arising from researches of 60's and 70's, that worked with the idea that parental involvement may affect the development of schizophrenia their own children. The research group is composed of 5 parents of schizophrenics and the control group consists of 5 parents of individuals without psychiatric illness. The research is focused on the...
