Praktický průvodce lékařskou psychologií

Peter Pöthe

Třetí vydání úspěšné publikace je poutavou ilustrací psychoanalytického přístupu k problémům, se kterými se ve svých ordinacích běžně setkávají dětští psychiatři, lékaři i psychologové. Zejména vztahové trauma patří k nejsilnějším a vývojově nejdůležitějším událostem v životě každého z nás.
   
Traumatická zkušenost formuje každého člověka již od okamžiku jeho narození. Některé děti, o nichž renomovaný český psychoterapeut MUDr. Peter Pöthe píše, zažily události, které hluboce a dlouhodobě proměnily jejich prožívání a chování. Moderní psychoanalýza přináší východiska pro klinickou práci a terapii v mnoha oblastech duševního zdraví dětí – například jejich raných vztahů, sexuality, sociálního chování, agrese, separace a autonomie, závislostí, poruch příjmu potravy, delikvence, týrání a zneužívání. Autor se snaží předat přístupnou a zajímavou formou co největší množství informací z oblasti psychoanalýzy dětí a dospívajících, vývojové psychologie a psychiatrie. Věnuje se terapii i diagnostice a vše doplňuje příklady ze své praxe. Třetí vydání je obohaceno rozsáhlou kapitolou, věnovanou procesu terapeutické práce s rodiči.

Publikace se zaměřuje především na psychiatry, psychology, psychoterapeuty, sociální pracovníky, pediatry, pedagogy a vychovatele včetně učitelů mateřských škol. Jistě však v mnohém obohatí také rodiče i dospívající, kteří se trápí psychickými problémy.

The proposed anthology represents for many doctoral students their first entry into the publishing environment of scientific genres. The studies in such cases contain the essence of future dissertation works, which represent the creative pinnacle of doctoral studies. In addition to providing doctoral students with the opportunity to publish scientific outputs, we also consider the anthology a space for interdisciplinary encounters and mutual enrichment. However, interdisciplinarity is not merely a characteristic of the anthology as a whole but also of some studies.

Most notable interdisciplinary approaches are observed in literary studies. The traditional subject of research into artistic texts is enriched in individual studies by examining theatrical and film works (Peter Getlík), linguistic aspects of phrasemes (Ivana Hudiková), musical elements (Terézia Kulíková), visual art (Dominika Petáková), and digital spaces of new media (Alexandra Popovičová). From other disciplines, we highlight Miroslava Süčová Vernarská’s study, which extends psychological research into sociological and linguistically communicative contexts (the concept of metaphor), or conversely, Zuzana Šoltésová and Dušan Šlosár’s contribution, analyzing eating disorders from their disciplinary background in social work.

Both mentioned disciplines also include contributions with traditional research subjects. Nikola Fabiny from psychology analyzes consequence expectations in the context of goal selection and achievement. Jana Plavnická and Dušan Šlosár’s co-authored study from the Department of Social Work presents a multi-perspective analysis of integration barriers for immigrants in Slovakia. Within their own disciplines, both philosophy contributions operate: Juraj Brenišin interprets the ethical aspects of Avicbron’s Fons vitæ, while Michal Kručko examines Edmund Husserl’s unfinished work through a comparative lens of his students Jan Patočka and Roman Ingarden. The anthology concludes with Lukáš Lukačín’s study (written in English), which explores the semantic-grammatical category of modality in the verbs MAY and CAN within legal-administrative documents of the European Union.

The representation of academic disciplines and doctoral students’ individual creative outputs in Doktorandské miscelaneá 4 is thus appropriately diverse. We present this publication to the broader academic community as a representative overview of trends in young scholars’ thinking across the spectrum of humanities and social sciences doctoral programs at the Faculty of Arts, UPJŠ in Košice.

Over the past two decades, psychologists have shown increased interest in the issues of self-regulation and self-control. The prepared publication is, in a sense, part of this process. Its foundation was the conference "Psychological Aspects of Self-Regulation and Its Contexts," held on October 14–15, 2010, in Košice. The event was organized by the Department of Psychology and the Department of Educational Psychology and Health Psychology at the Faculty of Arts, P. J. Šafárik University.

The publication of a collection of scientific papers with the same title fulfills the aim of presenting oral presentations and posters in an expanded form. The contributions are thematically divided into three sections: "Self-Control and Its Contexts," "Coping with Problematic Situations," and "Personality and Risk Behavior."

The publication and the conference that served as its basis were supported by the grant agency VEGA of the Ministry of Education and the Slovak Academy of Sciences as part of projects 1/0785/09 "Personal and Situational Factors of Self-Control" and 1/0310/10 "Social-Psychological Determinants of Healthy Psychosocial Development and Realization of Developmental Potential in Gifted and Disadvantaged Children and Adolescents."
