Prospective consequences of having been a member of a sectarian organization and means of subsequent care are briefly discussed as well. Empirical part of the work looks at the ways people perceive sectarian groups and compares the views of the public with the theory.

Active imagination. Options and risks
Kundrátová, Iva ; Štětovská, Iva (advisor) ; Junková, Vendula (referee)
Imaginace provázejí lidstvo po staletí. Je to oblast velmi fascinující. Na jednu stranu lidé využívali představ při objevování zákonitostí světa kolem sebe a konstruování nových vynálezů. Na straně druhé je imaginace vedla hluboko do nitra při meditacích a duchovním cvičení. To bylo inspirací i C.G. Jungovi při koncipování, v té době zcela nové, psychoterapeutické metody - aktivní imaginace. Uvedení imaginace, jako člověku přirozeně blízkého způsobu uchopení a zobrazení skutečnosti, do terapie se ukázalo jako velmi prospěšné. Aktivní imaginace zde našla své místo. V současnosti je jednou z běžně používaných terapeutických metod a proto i my, v rámci naší práce, vstupujeme do oblasti psychoterapie a dotýkáme se některých jejích principů a pravidel (například etického kodexu a některých obecných zásad práce terapeuta). Teoretickým východiskem a základem naší práce Je analytická psychologie. V jejích intencích se budeme pohybovat a také budeme užívat její terminologii, kterou nejprve vymezíme. Inspirací k napsání rigorózní práce na toto téma, byla autorčina diplomová práce. Ta shrnula dostupné informace o aktivní imaginaci a mapovala, zda a jak je používána mezi českými psychoterapeuty. Další vzdělávání a nové profesní zkušenosti poskytly autorce mnoho podnětů k vypracování obdobně tématicky zaměřené rigorózní...

Systemic psychotherapy in theory and practice on becoming a psychotherapist
Novotná, Nora ; Štětovská, Iva (advisor) ; Junková, Vendula (referee)
The thesis investigates the process of becoming a psychotherapist in the context of systemic therapy. It outlines philosophical and psychotherapeutic roots of the systemic approach, emphasizing postmodern thinking, in particular poststructuralism, radical and social constructivism and modern biological gnoseology. The work discusses theoretical foundations as well as practical applications of the teaching of the Prague Institute for Systemic Therapy (IST). It covers five main lines of thoughts in systemic thinking - the Milan school of family therapy, strategic therapy by Milton Erickson, brief solution-focused therapy (BSFT), Hamburg school and the narrative approach. The work focuses on defining and delineating the role of the therapist and the client, and their cooperation in the therapeutic dialogue. It emphasizes therapist's self-reflection during the therapeutic process as the primary way of influencing the client, and it discusses models which make the self-reflection more efficient. The art of dialogue is presented as the fundamental skill of a systemic therapist. Last but not least, the work covers an important area of systemic ethics and supervision. The empirical part of the work investigates, using the qualitative based interview, the process of becoming a therapist on a sample of 19...
