Pěč, Ondřej ; Raboch, Jiří (advisor) ; Šípek, Jiří (referee) ; Kocourková, Jana (referee)
The term splitting is defined as a process of formation of mental aggregates linked incompatible experiences producing numerous divisions in mental apparatus. Current findings indicate that psychological splitting in schizophrenia is likely specifically presented on a neural level as disrupted organization in neural communication. This disrupted neural communication likely underlies deficits in mental processing described by various neuroscientific concepts such as theories of disturbed connectivity, corollary discharges and dynamic complexity. In this context, a purpose of the theoretical part of the dissertation is to describe basic neuroscience theories that complementarily reflect interrelated processes between mind and brain underlying disturbances of mental integration that likely present a neural representation of the splitting. A purpose of the first part of the empirical research was to examine relationships between psychological process of splitting and disturbed cognitive and affective functions in schizophrenia. A sample of patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) was used as a control group in this study. Methods: In the clinical study, we have assessed 30 patients with schizophrenia and 35 patients with BPD. The symptoms of splitting were measured using self- reported...

The primary topic of this work is to describe the executive functions profile of people diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. Neuropsychological methods of measurement are used such as the Rey-Osterreith Complex Figure Test and also the self-made scale for self-judgement, which investigates the daily activities of people diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. The aim of this work is to describe the main terms of Borderline Personality Disorder and the executive functions system, as viewed by current Czech and foreign literature, and also current international research. Within Borderline Personality Disorder we are interested in the diagnostic criterion of DSM-IV and ICD-10. We are also interested in its etiology. There are huge efforts to show the destructive consequences this diagnosis can have for the individual in their daily life activities. The term 'executive functions system' is here explained through the difficult definitions which vary from author to author. This work strives to explain the origin of the executive functions system, where the functions are placed and what their function is. It also focuses on the relation between executive functions system and Borderline Personality Disorder. The results of the Rey-Osterreith Complex Figure Test are compared with the...
