This diploma thesis concerns the use of Ergotherapy by people with mental disablement. A theoretical part characterises the terms: a mental disablement and a care for people with mental disablement and the most frequent types of therapies providing in the facilities for people with physical handicap. At the end of the chapter about a present situation of this chosen topic, there is a separate chapter about Ergotherapy. It points out a game, as a first occupation of a child and work therapy that helps individuals with mental disablement to create or improve their own working habits. The aim of this thesis was to introduce new trends in education of people with mental disablement in the area of work therapy. The thesis is focused on an offer of work therapy activities that have been provided by the facilities for people with a physical handicap and the education of work therapists. A qualitative research was used to reach the aim: first a method of questioning and secondly, a technique of semi-structured interviews. The interviews were made with senior executives (mainly the principals) and they were focused on the area of education of work therapists after the validation of Social Service Act No. 108/2006 Sb. Another used method was a method of quantitative research {--} questioning, a technique of questionnaire. The target group was composed of work therapists who are employed in the facilities for people who are physically handicapped. The questionnaires were designed to reveal what is being offered in terms of work therapy within the facilities and what is the determination of a selection of an activity that the client will take part in. It has been revealed that the offer of activities in the facilities is varied and that the client plays the main role in the selection of the activity. The research was conducted in three regions of the Czech Republic: South Bohemia, South Moravia and the Vysočina region.

Current personality development possibilities of welfare service institutions clients (South Bohemia region)
HRUŠKOVÁ, Marie
The institutional care problematic is a topical subject, as many mentally retarded people in the Czech Republic are dependent on such care. However, the institutional care has many liabilities, which can have negative influence on the personality development of these individuals. That{\crq}s why it{\crq}s essential to focus on humanization of the current inward facilities, while applying modern approaches to mentally affected people. In my pursuit, I analyzed the services provided by individual institutions for disordered people (daily or weekly care homes in some cases) in the South Bohemia region. I focused especially on the range of available current methods and forms, which develop personalities of the disordered people. This relates to the possibility of applying work and other specific therapies, but also involves other fields, such as the quality of living, education, worthwhile spending of leisure time and respecting bio-psycho-social needs of the clients. Assertion of these principles leads to personality development of the clients, increases the quality of their lives and generally contributes to the humanization of the institutional care. In order to find the corresponding information, we have used the method of questioning, the technique of controlled interview and the technique of questionnaire. The target file for proving the hypothesis were - when using the controlled interview - chosen leaders of institutes of social care (mostly directors of such establishments), for questionnaires home{\crq}s employees (mostly instructors and persons employed in social services), who enforced some of their actual methods of work and forms of personality development of mentally affected persons. The results of the research have shown that the most commonly used method of personality development besides education is ergotherapy and operational therapy. The facilities also use plenty of forms of rehabilitation including hipotherapy. Often used methods also are artetherapy, music therapy and also very common are canistherapy and logopedics. Dramatherapy, basal stimulation, aromatherapy and dance therapy belong to the group of methods, which are present in lower cases. Moreover, it was found that there are vast differences in the broad offer of these methods between particular establishments. The establishments offer at least three next to the most of ten types of therapies.
