The Question of Need of Thanatopedagogy
ŠÍMOVÁ, Jana
The Thesis deals with the question of the need for thanatopedagogy. The aim of the Thesis is to construct a possible new field of study, to define it, and to examine its content. The focus of the Thesis is on the interconnection between pedagogy and thanatology and is theoretical only. The first chapter is devoted to the science of thanathology, that is the process of death and dying. It contains general information about this science, and also addresses the benefit of thanatology to mankind. The second part focuses on pedagogy, whilst addressing the interdependence of pedagogy and thanatology. From these theoretical foundations the new discipline of thanatopedagogy will develop.

Death and dying acceptance by people with experience of non-ordinary states of consciousness
PEŠEK, Martin
Non-ordinary states of consciousness have been presented for a long time and currently, when the spiritual side of the human existence is left out, the states of consciousness turn to its regeneration. This thesis is focused on the resulting changes in human life after passing the non-ordinary state of consciousness and especially regarding the changes in attitude towards death and process of dying. In the theoretical part, I have described the problem of death and the process of dying from the cultural, medical, psychological and theological view. I have presented the basic and extended model of the human psyche, the knowledge of which is essential in understanding the non-ordinary states of consciousness. Next, I have specified the concrete definition of non-ordinary states of consciousness and I have dealt with the extended description of those matters, when the human being is not directly touched or not during the experience with dead or dying. The last theoretical chapter goes into the therapeutic potential of the described non-ordinary states of consciousness. The goal of this thesis is to catch the significant similarities of the body and point its transformative effect on the personality of the human being, especially in the matters of basic existence. In order to achieve this goal, I have chosen the qualitative research strategy with the elements of phenomenological research. This semi-structured interview was defined as a method for collecting the data. The research file represents seven respondents with their own experience of a non-ordinary state of consciousness, especially near-death experiences, holotropic breathwork and psychedelic experiences. The results of this research have shown the significant changes in the lives of people who had this type of experience in question. The changes in their respective lives have also resulted in the reduction of the fear of death or dying of these individuals. The results from these findings have significant implications for the psychotherapy. It is mainly aimed at those therapists who have contact with people suffering from death and who have anxiety about dying.

Searching of sense of suffering in human lives, comparison of social workers from Agenda of benefits for care` opinons and chosen authors` opinions, which I found in special literature
TURNOVCOVÁ, Bohumila
I tried to find the sense of suffering in human lives in my bachelor work. It consists of two parts {--} a theoretical one and a practical one. In the first part there are explained the most important concepts, the main ideas of this theme, then there are introduced the chosen basic looks on suffering and its sense from different scientific fields, from ethics, philosophy, psychology, theology, social work and thanatology. In the second part I tried to do the summary of realised opinions, which I used in the questionnaire among social workers. The aim of my research is to find opinions of social workers, opinions about suffering and its sense. My bachelor work is finished with the presentation of found data. The most developed question for me was the question about the sense of suffering in context of possible connections {--} the age, the education, the religion. In the end of my work I compared opinions of social workers and opinions taken from special literature, opinions about suffering and its sense.
