Based on theoretical knowledge, the relation between attachment disorders and the diagnosis of PNES was assumed. This connection was examined by comparing the results of three groups of respondents with different diagnoses (PNES, PNES and epilepsy, epilepsy) and a control group. The theoretical part deals with the problematics of attachment, PNES and epilepsy. The empirical part examines differences between groups of respondents, correlations of the variables with socio-demographic factors and correlations between results of each used method. Three questionnaires, PBI, ECR and ECR-RS were used for the research. The data were collected in the Epilepsy Centre at the Na Homolce Hospital. The research sample consisted of a total of 84 respondents. The results were statistically significant for numerous hypotheses. Research suggest that there are correlations of some subscales with socio-demographic...

HEIDINGEROVÁ, Jana
The presented bachelor thesis deals with the topic of emotions and its influence on the artwork, as well as with the detection of the specific emotional expression of the authors in their artefacts. In this work, artefacts of psychiatric patients hospitalized for the treatment of affective disorders or emotionally unstable personality disorders are explored. The thesis describes similarities and differences in the manifestation of emotions in the artwork of patients with various diagnosis belonging to the diagnostic categories mentioned above. Both, the theoretical and the empirical part try to map the characteristic features of the art expression of these patients and at the same time to outline appropriate techniques and topics for practising art therapy with them. The theoretical part summarizes the most important terms and theories of emotions, emotional development, personality development, ontogenesis of art expression and emotional manifestations in artwork, it also describes the history of art therapy, art therapy with psychiatric patients and diagnostic characteristics of affective disorders and emotionally unstable personality disorder. The empirical part includes four case reports and it also contains analysis of a total of 88 artefacts to answer research questions. The results point to some differences in patient's art expression according to their diagnosis. Due to the limited size of the research sample and the methods used, it is not advisable to generalize the outcomes of this paper. However, the conclusions of the thesis may serve a topic for further studies.

HEIDINGEROVÁ, Jana
The presented bachelor thesis deals with the topic of understanding and experiencing emotions of the hearing-impaired users of sign language. Describes similarities and differences in understanding emotions and emotional experience of the target group and the intact population, and within theoretical and practical parts strives to point out causes of potential differences. The theoretical part summarizes the most important influences on personality development of the hearing-impaired users of sign language and their emotional experiencing, among them e.g. nature of family environment, type of adopted communication system, specific education strategies, and different views and population attitudes towards the hearing-impaired. The empirical part includes two interviews conducted with experts on the issue of hearing impairment, and results of the color-semantic differential test, supplemented with individual expressions of emotions and stimulus words related to the topic of the thesis. Differences in the evaluation of the stimulus words and individual associations are also described. Outcomes of interviews describe similarities and differences between the target and control group, alternatively their explanation. Test results point to some differences in dissimilarity of emotional intensity, in value hierarchy of stimulus words, and in the number of discrepancies between conscious and unconscious evaluation of stimulus words. Due to the limited size of the research sample and the methods used, it is not advisable to generalize the results of this paper. The conclusions of the thesis may serve a topic for further studies.
