Use of cognitive behavioural therapy for individuals with autistic spectrum disorders
Macháčková, Milada ; Felcmanová, Lenka (advisor) ; Hájková, Vanda (referee)
In my thesis I describe the application of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to patients with autism-spectrum disorders (ASD), with special attention to the social aspects of this pervasive developmental disorder. Social ineptitude, bad orientation in relationships, reserved behaviour and similar characteristics are typical of ASD, but it does not necessarily follow that an individual who has difficulties to enter into relationships does not desire to do so. These days, CBT enters this system as one of a few demonstrably effective methods. As the theoretical background for the thesis I present CBT as a school of psychotherapy, with its history and current development. Further, I characterize ASD and present the section of the spectrum in which CBT will be used the most. The practical part will present the application of CBT to a client with Asperger syndrome.
