The process of addiction treatment in the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous
Němcová, Lucie ; Grygar, Jakub (advisor) ; Hájek, Martin (referee)
This thesis concerns an alternative approach to the alcohol-addiction treatment within the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous and highlights the importance of self-help groups in the contemporary society. This worldwide biggest self-help group uses sociologically important processes to achieve a new way of life connected with sobriety. I have studied these processes through the participant observation. Alcoholics Anonymous influences its members through its specific culture which reflects in group rituals, high level of group affiliation, spirituality and co-constructed community story, which bears the member's knowledge. This thesis looks on the transition to identity of the sober alcoholic and the new way of living according to Twelve-Step program of Alcoholics Anonymous through the perspective of drift model of conversion, transition rituals or principles used in the narrative therapy. Within these processes there occurs radical reconstruction of perceptual, cognitive and behavioral schemes which influence the meanings in the interpretation of everyday life and consecutively change the identity of the individual and his social action. These changes of the individual are strengthened by the group members and then gradually spread out of the group boundaries too.

Šeblová, Anna ; Šejvl, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Miovský, Michal (referee)
Background: At the beginning of the 20th century, first expert institutes for the treatment of addiction started to appear in what is now Czechia and Slovakia. Apart from treating male patients, demand in society for similar institutes devoted to women also increased, as a result of rising public awareness of addictive substance use - especially alcohol - even among women, including during pregnancy and motherhood. As women reached a new stature in society during the 20th century thanks to continuing emancipation, their relationship to addictive substances also changed - a shift especially apparent after World War 2. Aims: The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to describe the process of establishment of specialized institutes focusing on women struggling with addiction, the shifting attitudes and approaches towards treating female addiction, and to map the history of addiction treatment with a special emphasis on the female gender from the beginning of the 20th century until the year 1989. Methods: This work utilised the method of collection of data from available sources, including monographies, scientific articles, and annual studies. Unfortunately, the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in the Czech Republic caused libraries to be either closed or operating in a highly restricted mode for much of the years 2020...

Šejvl, Jaroslav ; Miovský, Michal (advisor) ; Nožina, Miroslav (referee) ; Morovicsová, Eva (referee)
Background: The tradition of specialised institutional alcohol treatment in what is now the Czech Republic dates back over a hundred years. The first modern institution aimed at treating alcohol dependency began to operate on 7 September 1948. While formally constituting an organisational unit of the Psychiatric Clinic, the "U Apolináře" facility, headed by Dr. Jaroslav Skála, was an independent workplace which gave rise to a distinct treatment approach. Becoming known as the "Apolinar" treatment model, this approach was adopted by all the residential alcohol treatment facilities which came into existence or operated in Czechoslovakia from 1948 to 1989. Before the establishment of this department, three similar treatment facilities existed on the historical territory of Czechoslovakia - Velké Kunčice (1911 to 1915), Tuchlov (1923 to 1938), and Istebné nad Oravou (1937 to 1939/1949). Aim: The aim of the dissertation thesis was to describe the analysis of the conditions which had an influence on the origin, development, operation, and dissolution of the three oldest specialised alcohol treatment institutions on the historical territory of what is now the Czech Republic and Slovakia from 1900 to 1945. Methods: The research involved qualitative content analysis of historical materials, mainly written...
