Using Logotherapy to Help Parents of Mentally Disabled Children to Reorganize Their Ladder of Life Values
SMETANOVÁ, Dana
In my thesis, I characterise the basic terms from the sphere of mental disability and the diagnosis of autism. I try to outline the view of mentally disabled children and children with disorders of autistic spectrum from the moral and pedagogical point of view. Furthermore, I deal with the sense and the extent of the need of education. At the same time, I analyse the demands that the parents, teachers and social workers are exposed to. As this thesis deals with logotherapeutical values of parents of mentally disabled children and with disorders of autistic spectrum, I describe the meaning of values of creativity, experiences and attitudes in the life of a person and in the lives of parents of these children. In the general context, my thesis pays attention to logotherapy with the view of the possible resignation of parents to their life fate, which is connected with the difficult life situation. In my thesis, I used the qualitive research and the method of research survey mith the elements of qualitative analysis of data, as this method enables to work with the smaller research sets. The research was carried out among parents of mentally disabled children and children with the disorders of autistic spectrum. These parents are the members of the Association of Parents with Mentally Disabled Children or their children make use of the services of the school "Rolnička" which is run by the Diacony of the Czech-Brethern Evangelical Church. The aim of my thesis is to find out whether the ligotherapeutical values formed by V.E.Frankel occur in the system of values of parents of disabled children. Finally, there was carried out the evaluation of acquired data.
