Mindfulness based relapse prevention
Bentley, Anna-Alexandra ; Čiberová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Gabrhelík, Roman (referee)
This bachelor thesis summarizes the current state of knowledge in the field of mindfulness-based relapse prevention. Over the last few decades, mindfulness has become part of several psychotherapeutic programs and has shown promising results in the treatment of a wide range of chronic diseases, including addiction. The starting point for writing this work is the absence of a document that would summarize the current state of knowledge in this field and the possibility of applying a relapse prevention program based on mindfulness in the Czech Republic. In the first part of the work, we briefly deal with cognitive-behavioral therapy and its relationship to the issue of addiction. Subsequently, we present the theory of relapse prevention according to Marlatt and Gordon, which is the most commonly used treatment intervention so far. The main part of the work is a description of the 8-week manualized program Mindfulness-based relapse prevention (MBRP) and a proposal for the implementation of this program in the system of care for addicts in the Czech Republic. The partial goals of the work are to describe the proposed psychological mechanisms of action. Methods of source analysis and semi-structured interviews were used to meet the objectives of the work. The result of the work is a survey that provides...

Břoušková, Barbora ; Šťastná, Lenka (advisor) ; Dvořáček, Jiří (referee)
Background: The psychology of behavior change and addictive substance users' motivation to get treatment is a topical issue in addictology. The reasons why patients enter treatment vary; they have different goals, and they differ in the degree to which they are able to reflect these goals. To understand addictive behavior, it is necessary to pay attention to all aspects that determine it, i.e. to recognize the abilities, opportunities and motivations of their behavior and their interaction. The topic of patient motivation at the very beginning of the institutional treatment process of addiction, i.e. when entering detox, was not given enough attention in the Czech Republic, despite the fact that detoxification is in many cases the first, indispensable step in starting medium-term and long-term residential treatment of addiction, and work with motivation is a method of direct work with patients. Aims: To map the motivation for treatment of addiction to addictive substances in patients voluntarily hospitalized at the Detox K20department at the Kosmonosy Psychiatric Hospital. To describe the characteristics of these patients, the differences in their motivation and compare their motivation in terms of socio-demographic data, preferential addictive substances, experience with addiction treatment and...
