Abstract Differences in the therapeutic and psychosocial rehabilitation activities of psychiatric asylum patients according to their diagnoses As the main topics of my bachelor{\crq}s thesis, I am investigating psychosocial rehabilitation and therapeutic activities and their use within the framework of rehabilitation of people with a diagnosis within a range of psychotic disorders, neurotic disorders and organic disorders. A chapter on community care represents an important part; it is closely related to the complex rehabilitation system in the treatment of mental disorders. On the last pages I focus on specific communication with people suffering from dementia, psychosis and neurosis. The first goal of the thesis was to find out the differences in therapeutic activities according to diagnoses within a range of psychotic disorders, neurotic disorders and organic disorders. There was a hypothesis linked to the given goal in which I thought that the therapeutic activities realized with the patients would differ according to their diagnoses. The second goal was to find out whether professional staff consider it important to use the possibility of extramural (community) care within the framework of caring for the mentally ill. For this purpose a hypothesis was set up in which I assumed that the professional staff of a psychiatric asylum had a negative view towards using extramural (community) care. The goals of the thesis were achieved. Information was obtained through a quantitative survey, by the method of questioning and the technique of data collection {--} through a questionnaire. The first monitored group consisted of 20 therapists and the second monitored group was made up of 84 nurses working at the Jihlava psychiatric asylum. The survey{\crq}s results confirmed the first hypothesis. The second hypothesis was not confirmed. The findings of this thesis could be used as a source of information, particularly for work therapists and other therapists who, within the framework of psychosocial rehabilitation and therapeutic activities, use many activities such as supporting treatments for mental disorders. The thesis provides an overview of the activities applied in treating mental illnesses. Furthermore, therapists and nurses can use the findings about community care and subsequent services for patients with mental disorders. Not only social workers, but also physicians, therapists and nurses can be the intermediaries of this information for patients and their family members.
