Parental burnout and validation of the Czech version of the Parental Burnout Assessment
Kročková, Nikola ; Urban, Kamila (advisor) ; Takács, Lea (referee)
Parental burnout is a new psychological concept. The theoretical part of the thesis describes an overview of research on parental burnout, including its prevalence, symptoms, mechanisms and factors of development, distinction of related concepts, consequences, and diagnostic options. The aim of the study carried out as a part of this thesis was validation of the Czech version of the Parental Burnout Assessment (PBACZ). The research sample consisted of 285 parents. The confirmatory factor analysis indicated poor fit of the theoretical four factor structure of original questionnaire (exhaustion, contrast, feelings of being fed up, emotional distancing) to the data. The reliability of PBACZ was excellent (α= .97). The PBACZ did not corelated with job burnout however it showed strong correlation with stress, anxiety, depression, and it predicted the level of the parental rejection. We can assume that the overall PBACZ scale gives a valid information about the level of parental burnout. Nevertheless, it cannot be evaluated on the level of the single subscales. The detected prevalence of parental burnout in Czech parents' sample was 12,6 %. Mothers, parents on maternity or paternity leave, mothers who perceive that they are taking more care for the child compared to their partners and parents who spend...

Ethics issues in psychotherapy: attitudes, experience and decision making

This thesis deals with ethics in psychotherapy. In the theoretical part, both of these disciplines are presented and I specifically mention individual ethical dilemmas that a psychotherapist may encounter during his work (dual relationships, confidentiality, respect, and d.c.), professional attitudes and resources in the decision-making of ethical dilemmas. The empirical section describes the implemented quantitative research, which maps the experiences and attitudes of 64 psychotherapists to the various ethical issues and resources they use in decision making of ethical dilemmas. Among the results of the work is the order of ethical questions according to how much psychotherapists experience them and how much non/ethical they evaluate such behavior. The questions which are ethically questionable are also presented. One of the hypotheses tested, whether the higher frequency of experience of psychotherapists leads to a more extreme assessment of the ethics of individual situation, was not supported (average correlation coefficient=0.064). On the contrary, the hypothesis that the more psychotherapists encounter a given ethically demanding situation, the more ethical their attitude towards it is supported by a moderate relationship (average correlation coefficient=0.316). Psychotherapists identified...
