Voldřich, Michal ; Viktorová, Ida (advisor) ; Němec, Zbyněk (referee) ; Bílková, Zuzana (referee)
The presented dissertation focuses on the experience of parents of children with problem and disordered behavior. We build on research focused on parenting children with ADHD, with the intention of broadening our view to include the social conflict dimension in children's behavior. In the theoretical part, we examine how the categories of problem and disordered behavior are captured in medical and special pedagogical classifications. Furthermore, we elaborate on research focusing on parental experience. The research itself is based on qualitative methodology, on repeated interviews with the parents of children and their analysis through the methods of grounded theory. We are particularly interested in how the socially conflictual and medicalized dimension of problem behavior enters into experience. KEYWORDS parental experience, problem and disordered behavior, ADHD, qualitative methodology

Prudnikova, Elizaveta ; Lustigová, Michala (advisor) ; Špačková, Petra (referee)
This thesis looks into the concept of the quality of life in women with epilepsy from a qualitative perspective. Epilepsy, as is a chronic neurological disease, affects not only everyday activities after the diagnosis, but also has its impact on the women's life regarding employment or family. By adapting the narrative analysis this thesis categorizes the influential factors of this concept into primary and secondary ones. Moreover, it explores in detail the issue of obtaining a driving license, which is one of the specifics of the people with epilepsy in Czechia. Also, it defines the respondents' attitudes toward the societal perception of epilepsy and fears that accompany it. In addition to that, the matter of motherhood and pregnancy for women with epilepsy is explored as one of the influential factors of the quality of life. Lastly, this thesis argues that the qualitative approach is essential for the initial examination of the selected sample for future investigations regarding the concept of the quality of life in epilepsy.
