Kurz, Roman ; Šotolová, Eva (advisor) ; Mlčková, Marie (referee)
My final work is about three basic types of prevention, which are used in the field of narcotic's prevention. It's mostly about secondary and tertiary prevention. Besides the basic terminology you can read about the details of differents preventions, who is responsible for it and also about the treatment of addictive behaviours. In my work you can also find the descriptions of legal and illegal narcotics, which excessive using leads to jones. The questions in the questionaire were created with a respect to the respondents - they are the clients of the mental treatment, who decided to help themselves (sometimes not for the first time).

Mindfulness based relapse prevention
Bentley, Anna-Alexandra ; Čiberová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Gabrhelík, Roman (referee)
This bachelor thesis summarizes the current state of knowledge in the field of mindfulness-based relapse prevention. Over the last few decades, mindfulness has become part of several psychotherapeutic programs and has shown promising results in the treatment of a wide range of chronic diseases, including addiction. The starting point for writing this work is the absence of a document that would summarize the current state of knowledge in this field and the possibility of applying a relapse prevention program based on mindfulness in the Czech Republic. In the first part of the work, we briefly deal with cognitive-behavioral therapy and its relationship to the issue of addiction. Subsequently, we present the theory of relapse prevention according to Marlatt and Gordon, which is the most commonly used treatment intervention so far. The main part of the work is a description of the 8-week manualized program Mindfulness-based relapse prevention (MBRP) and a proposal for the implementation of this program in the system of care for addicts in the Czech Republic. The partial goals of the work are to describe the proposed psychological mechanisms of action. Methods of source analysis and semi-structured interviews were used to meet the objectives of the work. The result of the work is a survey that provides...

Development of secondary addiction in the period of abstinence from the user's point of view
Němec, Radek ; Vacek, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Matoušek, Petr (referee)
Background: Treatment of addiction during the period of abstinence from the primary drug is often complicated by the development of secondary addiction. Understanding the recurring pattern of behavior of such an addicted individual on a theoretical level supports a unified theory of addiction and from a practical point of view can represent effective help and hope for addicts. The shift of addiction from one behavior addiction to another one is not yet theoretically sufficiently described. Aims: The aim of the research is to describe the development of secondary addiction in the period of abstinence from the user's point of view. Whether and under what circumstances he perceives the onset of addictive behavior. What are the causes of development and how similar is the onset of behavior with the primary diagnosed addiction. Methods: This is a case study of a single purposefully selected person who developed secondary addiction after overcoming primary addiction. The data were created by a narrative unstructured interview (life story), systematized and subsequently interpreted according to the available professional literature. Results: The Thesis mapped the use of respondent development of their addictive behavior, which begins after abstinence. The results lead to professional knowledge in the...

Stress and Limbic Iritability in Depresseion and Alkohol Dependency : Craving and Depression as a Disorder of Inhibitory Mechanisms?
Jasová, Denisa ; Bob, Petr (advisor) ; Popov, Petr (referee) ; Balcar, Karel (referee)
Stress and limbic iritability in depression and alcohol dependency Denisa Jasová Abstract Depressive disorders and alcohol dependency recently present epidemiologically most significant psychiatric disorders. According to current research both diseases are multifactorial, mainly represented by genetic and environmental conditions. Several recent research studies are mainly focused on social factors related to stress and traumatic events such as neglect, deprivation, verbal, emotional, physical and sexual abuse, bullying and others. Important feature of these pathological conditions present disbalance between excitatory and inhibitory systems. In this context in affective disorders as well as in alcohol dependency these inhibitory deficits are represented by increased sensitivity and excitability of the limbic system called limbic irritability. Several studies suggested that these pathological changes may be described using the kindling model that potentially may explain limbic changes similar to temporal lobe epilepsy which may produce affective, cognitive and psychosensory symptoms but without typical changes that occur in neurologically diagnosed epilepsy. Following these findings significant correlations between depression and limbic irritability and between limbic irritability and alcohol craving have...

The relation between the menstrual cycle and craving for addictive substances among the female clients of residential treatment.
Bártková, Anna ; Doležalová, Pavla (advisor) ; Minařík, Jakub (referee)
There are sex differences in the emergence of addiction and drug use. One of the causes of the differences is the effect of female sex hormones, estrogen and progesterone. Their levels in the body can affect both the subjective effects of drugs, as well as craving and the risk of relapse during the addiction treatment process and abstinence. The aim of this work is to examine the influence of the menstrual cycle on craving for addictive substances and to try to map in what period of the menstrual cycle craving occurs most often for women. As a research qualitative design was used, semi-structured interviews with women in residential treatment of addiction (therapeutic community and psychiatric hospital) were used as a method. The research sample consisted of 13 respondents. Two semi-structured interviews were conducted two months apart. Data were analyzed using the tuft creation method. The results point at the existence of a relationship between menstrual cycle and substance craving. Even though the respondents' answers are ambivalent, the most common triggers of craving are unpleasant emotions that occur more frequently in the period before menstruation begins. However, less than half of the respondents report a direct link between craving and the period before menstruation. The findings are in...

The comparsion of the effect of psychothrapy and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in treatment of binge eating disorder.
Jaššová, Katarína ; Papežová, Hana (advisor) ; Kocourková, Jana (referee) ; Novák, Tomáš (referee)
Introduction: Among eating disorders, the binge eating is the most common disorder with prevalence to 7,8%. It is frequently connected with overweight, or obesity. Current treatment of binge eating is based on psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy and regime approach. Recently, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation appears as hopeful therapeutic method, for example used with success as an alternative therapy to treatment of resistant major depresion. Because of its non-invasiveness, good tolerability and minimal side effects, new options of its use are studied. It seems to be a promising therapeutic method for treatment of eating disorders. Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is considered as main experimental target of stimulation for treatment of binge eating disorder. Methods: Study was conceived randomized double-blind placebo controlled. The active group was stimulated by high-frequency rTMS, with stimulation parameters: frequency 10Hz, 1500 pulses, 107s inter-train, 100 % minimal motor threshold and 10 sessions of stimulation. The control grooup was stimulated by sham rTMS coil. Both groups completed FCQ-S and FCQ- T questionnaire before stimulation, after 10. session and one month after 10. session. Results: We noticed statistically significant decrease of craving in FCQ-S questionnaire after 10. session...
