Empathy
Demková, Tereza ; Kosziba,, Klaudia (referee) ; Rathouský, Luděk (advisor)
For my practical part of a bachelors thesis I have chosen empathy as a topic. As this topic can cover some of the family issues I notice nowadays. High percentage of divorces and unwillingness to take responsibility for children are all issues that are generally well-known. However in my opinion precisely the general knowledge is something that is rarely taken as an issue of an individual. My work are three paintings done in oil on canvas, not stretched on frames. They are placed as drawings or photos. They are auto-portraits that reflect my experiences with psychotherapy and my family background. The placement of these paintings is supposed to evoke an insight into an individual in more of a physician sense. In my opinion these paintings and their placement can invoke thoughts around family, empathy and visual art.

Spectrum of Psychotherapy from the perspective of Ken Wilber' s' Integral Theory
Rosendorfová, Johana ; Chrz, Vladimír (advisor) ; Tylš Adámková, Jana (referee)
In this theoretical thesis, I will first present my own condensation of the development of Ken Wilber's integral (structural-hierarchical) theory of the development of consciousness. In the second part, I compare Wilber's theory with psychodynamic theory, from which Wilber originally came. The main figure of comparison here will be Michael Washburn's concept of transpersonal development, which is anchored in a neo-Jungian approach. The comparison shows that one of the main distinguishing features of transpersonal theories is the topic of pre/trans fallacy and the location of the U-turn, i.e. the approach to the nature of the process of regression in personality development. In the last key part, I reflect on the possibilities of connecting the integral theory with psychotherapy and show that it is a theory that allows us to think systematically about psychological issues and psychotherapy directions. When analyzing the levels of consciousness of the integral theory, it turns out that the transitions between individual levels are points of a possible crisis of self. Psychotherapy can offer support and guidance, which can be specifically focused on the pitfalls in a given fulcrum. KEYWORDS integral theory, pre/trans fallacy, regression, development of consciousness, transpersonal psychology, psychotherapy

One of the main tools of psychotherapy is the psychotherapeutic interview conducted between the patient and the therapist. The interview is important for creating a therapeutic relationship, determining a diagnosis and for the therapeutic process itself. The traditional model of psychotherapy is expanding, as part of mental health care is now starting to be provided, partly due to capacity reasons, by artificial intelligence conversational systems leading a therapeutic conversation with the recipient of the therapy.
