Kárníková, Tereza ; Reichelová, Lenka (advisor) ; Čablová, Lenka (referee)
Pathological personality structure in the stories of clients treated for addictive substance abuse in a chosen Highlands facility Abstract This thesis deals with the issue of personality disorders, termed in the title as pathological structures of personality, of people treated for addictive substance abuse. Numerous Czech and foreign studies pointing out high prevalence of personality disorders with substance abusers served as a base. I also proceeded from the finding that little was written in theory or dealt with in practice concerning comorbidity of abovementioned issues. The theoretical part is divided into three parts. The first part develops the topic of personality disorders, chosen types of addiction and the unifying topic of psychiatric comorbidity. The aim of the thesis is, by analyzing two case studies, to describe the possible manifestations and treats of specific personality disorders, to observe the way they affect their life or the development of the illness connected to substance abuse and the part they took in their relapses or in their cooperation with the services for substance abusers. I reached the goals of this thesis by the methods of qualitative research, using a semi-structured interview that was later on transformed into a case history. The research file consisted of two clients...

The Role of Empathy in Ethical Behaviour
Novák, Lukáš ; Matějek, Jaromír (advisor) ; Ovečka, Libor (referee)
More than two hundred years ago David Hume together with his fellow philosopher Adam Smith posited, that ethical behaviour arises from so called: "moral sense". In the other words, they share the same idea, that passions are principle evoking and guiding human behaviour. Hume claim: "Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions" (…). It is possible that this statement - among others - woke up from the 'dogmatic dream' one of the greatest philosophers of all time - Immanuel Kant, who propose, - contrary to Hume - that reason but not necessary passions can determinate human actions. In the question of what rule the passions in ethics have, it seems to be helpful to use the knowledge which follows from recent science. During this thesis we will use methods such as: comparison, analysis and synthesis. Main aim of this thesis will be to deal with the following question: what relationship can be observed between empathy, "moral sense" and ethical behaviour in perspective of recent science. This enquiry will therefore try to deal with the old question: what the the relationship between reason, passions and ethical behaviour is.

Both methods assess the level of personality functioning from The DSM-5 Alternative Model for Personality Disorders. The main aim of that study is to compare a self-report method and a method based on clinical assessment on a sample of N = 30 non-psychiatric group and N = 30 clinical group. Diagnostic criteria for personality disorders in accordance with valid classification systems are presented in the theoretical part of the study, with an emphasis on benefits and limitations of the DSM-5 alternative model. Categorial and dimensional diagnostic approaches were compared and critically evaluated. Existing diagnostic methods for personality disorders were then discussed, structured interviews and questionnaires were analyzed more in detail. Specifics in use of self- report methods and structured interviews for assessing personality disorders were also discussed. In the empirical part a quantitative analysis was held to discover whether both methods mentioned above assess the same level of personality functioning, and also whether both methods differentiate between the control and clinical groups. The results have shown significant correlations between scores of...
