Růžičková, Kamila ; Kolářová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Ezzeddine, Petra (referee)
In my thesis I deal with the representations of mental handicap in the Czech context. The theoretical base I found in the field of disability studies and its model of disability, which I have enriched with the approaches of poststructuralist authors and also with the Czech authors who see the mental handicap from a different perspective than the "majority society". The representation of mental handicap in the Czech context I show at the example of a home for people with disabilities, specifically for the mentally disabled women, which is located in the Usti Region. This institution is involved in the project called The support of planning the transformation of social services in the Usti Region. In the thesis I deal with the issue how are these planning changes communicated with clients and what connotations are given to the planned change of living space. In the empirici section, I talk through the semi-structured interviews with five woman clients of the institution and ask them about their current life. Then I analyze the types of spaces Theky mentioned. Their questions are completed with an interview with the manager of the institution, who talks about the motives that led to the transformation process.

Risks and Benefits of the Interactions between Social Workers and Mentally Disabled Clients
KUPSOVÁ, Jitka
The work deals with the specifics of interactions between mentally disabled clients in the residential facilities providing institutional care, in particular with the relations between clients and social workers/carers. It analyses the role of interpersonal relations for individual´s inherent dignity, describes cultural and religious sources which recognise dignity of the mentally disabled in the contemporary society. It also strives to explain healthy ways of communication as an important and integral part of social interactions and how such methods can help to prevent conflicts in residential facilities. There is identification of risks of asymmetric relations between clients and carers due to the organisational hierarchy and the relevant changes brought about in the course of the deinstitutionalisation process. It provides various aspects of the relationship between employees and clients in traditional and alternative forms of residential facilities which in this particular case are represented by the Arch and Camphill communities. The Conclusions provide a summary of risks and benefits resulting from friendly attitude to mentally disabled clients and risks posed by the unequal and unnatural relations in residential facilities.
