Sliacka, Denisa ; Tolimatová, Jarmila (advisor) ; Svěcená, Kateřina (referee)
Background: The bachelor thesis is based on the author's interest in the interaction between therapists and clients. Exploring the therapeutic alliance allows us to understand better the interactions in therapy and identify areas that may need improvement. This can lead to better therapeutic practice and improved quality of care for clients. Clients with substance use disorders often face complex issues, including problems in interpersonal relationships. The therapeutic alliance can be a key factor in their treatment.

In part, a native interview was also conducted where both client and therapist...
