Mištová, Jaroslava ; POZZI, Jaroslav (advisor) ; MRAVCOVÁ, Marie (referee)
This bachelor thesis describes the changes in society's view of people with mental disabilities in recent centuries at first, then it is approaching the meanings of the words „mental handicap“ and briefly explains the various classifications of these handicaps. I also work with concept of characters with mental disabilities in Czech cinematography 1993 - 2007. To detect negative stereotypes about people with mental disabilities in the Czech films I use analysis of specific films of that time period. And at the end I find the most common negative stereotypes in these films. One of the most common negative stereotype is the presentation of death - or any form of destruction, silencing, or imprisonment - a character with mental disabilities, as the only possible solution for the character with mental disabilities and society too.

The comprehensive rehabilitation methods on the mentally disabled in south bohemia.
ANTALOVÁ, Dominika
The comprehensive rehabilitation provides complex care to disabled individuals using all types of therapeutic approaches that are part of the comprehensive rehabilitation. These are medical, educational, social and occupational approaches and the interconnection of all four of them is both vital and preferred. The comprehensive rehabilitation is beneficial for people with mental as well as physical and multiple disabilities. The use of the therapeutic approaches can be tailored to suit the individual needs of the disabled patients. The present bachelor thesis studies the comprehensive rehabilitation of individuals with mental disabilities. The theoretical part describes the coordinated rehabilitation as presented by various authors dealing with this topic. The first chapter defines the term "coordinated rehabilitation", the second explains the term "mental disability". The definition of mental disability also introduces the degrees of the disability, which include mild, moderate, severe and profound mental retardation. Basic definitions and information are given for all the above degrees. Chapters 3 6 describe the educational, occupational, medical and social therapeutic approaches of the comprehensive or coordinated rehabilitation, studying each approach in detail. Chapters 7 9 present South Bohemian rehabilitation facilities, especially those in the town of Ceske Budejovice namely ARPIDA, Bazalka, o.p.s. and Domov Libníč a Centrum sociálních služeb Empatie, describing all services provided by these facilities. All the facilities provide specialized care for people with mental, physical and multiple disabilities. The thesis aims to determine whether South Bohemian rehabilitation facilities make sufficient use of the comprehensive rehabilitation approaches and, in general, of all available resources in providing care to people with mental disabilities. The practical part deals with the research into methods used in the comprehensive rehabilitation facilities in South Bohemia, chiefly in ARPIDA, Bazalka, o.p.s. and Domov Libníč a Centrum sociálních služeb Empatie. The practical part relies on a qualitative research conducted through semi-structured interviews. This research involved 6 respondents from ARPIDA, Bazalka, o.p.s. and Domov Libníč a Centrum sociálních služeb Empatie interviewed about the comprehensive rehabilitation methods to treat mentally disabled patients used in their facilities. A total of 10 pre-defined questions were used in the interview (the questions are given in the Annex to this thesis). Two respondents from each facility willing to participate in the research were chosen for the interviews. With their consent, their responses were recorded and the content of the responses was then transcribed. The results of the research imply that South Bohemian rehabilitation facilities, especially those of ARPIDA, Bazalka, o.p.s. and Domov Libníč a Centrum sociálních služeb Empatie, make sufficient use of all comprehensive rehabilitation therapeutic approaches to treat people with mental disabilities, with quality care provided by qualified personnel. Another conclusion shown by the research results is that the rehabilitation of mentally disabled patients relies heavily on occupational, social and educational therapeutic approaches, leaving medical rehabilitation slightly less accented. Medical therapeutic approach is used mainly to treat mentally disabled patients with associated physical disabilities or for individuals where medical therapy was prescribed by a physician. The thesis could serve as a resource for students dealing with comprehensive rehabilitation or with mentally disabled individuals. Furthermore, the thesis may help people with mental disabilities and their families in choosing a suitable rehabilitation facility in South Bohemia as it provides information on the facilities, on the services they provide and on the comprehensive rehabilitation therapeutic approaches used.
