Explicit and implicit self-esteem within a given range of clients with anxiety disorders: quantitative and qualitative analysis with emphasis on Rorschach method
Najbrtová, Kristina ; Niederlová, Markéta (referee) ; Hrachovinová, Tamara (referee)
The thesis focuses on the issue of self-esteem in clients diagnosed with anxiety disorders. While this condition belongs to the most common mental illnesses, the role of the patient's self-esteem has not been sufficiently researched. The aim of the thesis is to contribute to a better understanding of the relation between anxiety and self-esteem, and to examine whether clients with so called Other Anxiety Disorder manifest specific differences in their level of self-esteem. In the theoretical part we summarize the key findings in the domain of anxiety disorder research; we further compare the different psychological approaches to the issue of self-esteem. There is a particular focus on authors who explore the possible causes and features of self-esteem deviations in patients with anxiety disorders, and who propose hypotheses regarding the nature and origins of this linkage. The empirical part of the thesis focuses on the analysis of the explicit and implicit self-esteem level in clients with anxiety disorder. For the purpose of measuring explicit self-esteem we have used foreign questionnaires, namely the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the SLSC-R. For implicit self-esteem evaluation we have used the Rorschach test. The research outcomes indicate that clients with anxiety disorders display...

Ethics issues in psychotherapy: attitudes, experience and decision making
Kročková, Nikola ; Rodriguez Manchola, Mabel Virginia (advisor) ; Najbrtová, Kristina (referee)
This thesis deals with ethics in psychotherapy. In the theoretical part, both of these disciplines are presented and I specifically mention individual ethical dilemmas that a psychotherapist may encounter during his work (dual relationships, confidentiality, respect, and d.c.), professional attitudes and resources in the decision-making of ethical dilemmas. The empirical section describes the implemented quantitative research, which maps the experiences and attitudes of 64 psychotherapists to the various ethical issues and resources they use in decision making of ethical dilemmas. Among the results of the work is the order of ethical questions according to how much psychotherapists experience them and how much non/ethical they evaluate such behavior. The questions which are ethically questionable are also presented. One of the hypotheses tested, whether the higher frequency of experience of psychotherapists leads to a more extreme assessment of the ethics of individual situation, was not supported (average correlation coefficient=0.064). On the contrary, the hypothesis that the more psychotherapists encounter a given ethically demanding situation, the more ethical their attitude towards it is supported by a moderate relationship (average correlation coefficient=0.316). Psychotherapists identified...

The first chapter of a literary-overview section defines diagnostics, epidemiology, etiology and risks of depression. The focus of the literary-overview section lies on six chapters dealing with particular psychotherapeutic approaches (cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness based cognitive therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, interpersonal therapy and humanistic therapy). For each approach, a way of working with a depressive client is described, as well as its empirically demonstrated effectiveness and evidence-based mechanisms of change. In the end of the literary-overview section there are summarized interfaces and specifics of all approaches in the treatment of depression. The research proposal is focused on mapping the use of ten change principles by Czech psychotherapists of cognitive behavioural, psychodynamic and humanistic approach in the treatment of depression. It is quantitatively oriented mapping research. Its first aim is to assess whether some change principles are used more in the treatment of depression than in case of other difficulties.
