The use of art-therapy with the homelessness
 BUREŠOVÁ, Jitka
This bachelor thesis describes the current phenomenon of homelessness in the context of the various factors that have had a major influence on its creation. In this thesis, homelessness is considered to be a socio-pathological phenomenon of modern society. The basic disambiguation of homelessness as described by authors in the Czech environment and the wider view of foreign experts, especially from Great Britain, is examined. Homelessness is described from the point of view of the somatic and mental illnesses associated with it with a focus on de-socialization and the resulting personality decline. In addition, individual social services that provide care for the homeless with regard of individual ability are mentioned. This work also focuses on an individual's ability to cope with stressful situations related to homelessness. This part describes an individual's ability to adapt, the main determinants that affect or eliminate irreversible social degradation, and the difference between active conscious strategies and unconscious defense mechanisms of the ego. The defense and adaptation mechanisms of a homeless person do not fulfill their essential role of integration and socialization but instead transform their character and needs to make it possible for them to survive on the street. The practical presents an art-therapy program with a group of homeless people that I conducted for six months. The goal of the practical is to describe the methodical progress of art-therapy intervention and the possibilities of its application. This part focuses on the changes in the visual arts with regard to the art shift in connection with the methodical instructions. The last part of the bachelor thesis illustrates the artistic expression of the homeless not only as a reflection of their life experiences, but also as an example of the uniqueness and originality of the use of art-therapy as an alternative form of communication to express human values and basic needs of homeless people.
