Emoční poruchy v dětství a dospívání

Naděžda Špatenková - Martina Friedlová

Předkládaná monografie přináší základní poznatky o truchlení dětí a dospívajících. Prožitek ztráty je univerzální lidská zkušenost, v současné společnosti je přesto tématem spíše vytěsňovaným. Děti a dospívající zažívají celou řadu ztrát, jako je ztráta blízkého člověka, rodiče či sourozence. Přirozenou reakcí na jakoukoliv ztrátu je smutek a truchlení, které mají řadu dopadů na duševní i somatické zdraví dětí, na jejich emoční prožívání i vztahy s druhými.

Kniha popisuje projevy truchlení u dětí a dospívajících, determinanty truchlení a rizikové faktory a komentuje často rozšířené mýty o jejich truchlení. Zvláštní pozornost je věnována možnostem podpory adaptivního truchlení dětí a dospívajících, a to jak ze strany rodičů, tak ze strany odborníků v pomáhajících profesích. V publikaci jsou prezentovány výsledky originálního výzkumu, zaměřeného na vlastní zkušenost rodičů s truchlením jejich dětí po smrti sourozence.

Publikace je určena jak pro rodiče a blízké dětí, které prožily závažnou ztrátu, tak pro odborníky v pomáhajících profesích, psychology, pedagogy, poradce pro pozůstalé, a pro odborníky dalších profesí, kteří se věnují zdravotní a sociální péči o děti a dospívající.

The fifth volume of Doctoral Miscellanea was created as a conference proceedings, returning to the original idea of the entire project: to establish a publication space for contributions from emerging scientists.

The first two issues of Doctoral Miscellanea consisted of outputs from departmental seminars, which involved internal discussions. Compared to direct publication, it proved more beneficial for doctoral students to verify their initial research results in multiple stages and present them in diverse ways (reaching more listeners and readers). The length of the texts in the first two issues was adapted to the duration of the presentations, but this practice was slightly disrupted by the omission of seminars in previous issues. In the current issue, the scope of the studies is somewhat more uniform.

An added value of the fifth volume was the meeting of all contributors at a joint conference, the Autumn School for Doctoral Students of the Faculty of Arts at UPJŠ in Košice, which took place on October 17, 2018, and October 18, 2018, in Danišovce.

We believe that this unique experience—often the first for many—of actively presenting at a scientific event could contribute to a better final version of the submitted contributions. At the same time, it allowed doctoral students to broaden their horizons within the humanities and social sciences, at least within the scope of the currently addressed dissertation research.

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."
