Perception of the meaning of life by middle-aged people, "middle-aged crisis"
PŘIBYLOVÁ, Dana
The thesis is focused on the issue of the perception of the meaning of life in the middle-aged generation, which tends to be characterised by a 'mid-life crisis'. The term is often associated with negative phenomena such as physical ageing, career stagnation, marriage boredom and the general stereotype of life. Here, the importance of logotherapy, which helps us to find meaning in life, helps us to communicate in social work, e.g. existential loneliness and loss of purpose in life, is precisely important. The work is drawn up interdisciplinarily on the basis of professional literature, mapping the concept of middle age from the point of view of various authors, the field of change, decision-making and the meaning of the so-called transition period, when one finds oneself between something that one was and something that one will be. From a philosophical and psychological point of view, the work is focused on the search for the meaning of life. Attention is also given to basic concepts and theoretical approaches relating to the meaning of life, with the aspect placed on human goals, life values, motivation, the value of health, the value of love, happiness, life as a calling. The aim of the thesis is to map how the period and meaning of life for the middle-aged generation (described as the "midlife crisis") is perceived from the perspective of the disciplines of science. Indicate options of solutions and promote personal satisfaction in the midlife crisis, hint at options to prevent the negative consequences associated with entering the second half of life. To show that, even at this stage in life, one can perceive and embrace the meaning of life in a positive way and live a happy and full life.

Midlife crisis from the perspective of psychotherapists: interpretative phenomenological analysis
Žochová, Kateřina ; Chrz, Vladimír (advisor) ; Krejčí, Josef (referee)
The thesis deals with the experience of psychotherapists with the midlife crisis in their clients. The theoretical part deals with the midlife crisis and selected psychotherapeutic approaches. The empirical part is based on qualitative research and is realized by the method of interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA). The research included three semi-structured interviews with psychotherapists who differ in theoretical orientation, namely Gestalt, SUR, and Pesso Boyden. The aim of the research was to understand the specific experiences of psychotherapists with the midlife crisis and whether their perception of these experiences corresponds to the psychotherapeutic approach. Elements from the narrative approach in the research were used in the data analysis. The results are summarized in a discussion, where they are also processed together with theoretical concepts and selected research. Based on this research, it was found that all three psychotherapists agree that there are increased changes between the ages of 40 and 50, which can result in some of the symptoms often referred to as midlife crisis, but in explaining the nature of the problems are significantly different. To some extent, we can say that their perception of the concept of the midlife crisis is influenced by the chosen...
