Milena Kantorová
Social Pathology and Prevention 2024, 10(2):105-119 
Connecting generations in nursing homes is becoming an increasingly important topic.

The paper discusses intergenerational collaboration in the Nursing Home Staff Ostrava and various aspects involved. Intergenerational projects play a vital role here, enriching not only the lives of seniors but also younger generations who come into contact with them. The goal is not only to analyze the most common causes of intergenerational barriers in the nursing home but, more importantly, to present practical approaches to overcoming them...

Aneta Silberová, Andrea Silberová
Social Pathology and Prevention 2024, 10(2):67-87 | DOI: 10.25142/spp.2024.007

On the practical level, it is based on a pilot study and a detailed analysis of the Framework Educational Programme for Preschool Education (RVP PV), conducted with students of a pedagogical lyceum. The study focuses on developing professional competencies in relation to inclusive trends in education. The main objective was to strengthen the professional preparedness of future pedagogical lyceum graduates for working with children exhibiting otherness, using a flat...

Šárka Honová
Social Pathology and Prevention 2024, 10(2):55-65 | DOI: 10.25142/spp.2024.008 
The topic of the article is punk pedagogy, an approach that has been neglected in Czech pedagogical literature, with possible consequences for the practice of special education. The aim is to open a professional discussion on the applicability of its methods, not only when working with students with problematic behavior. The method used was a monographic approach. Given that the practice of punk pedagogy is not yet theoretically anchored in relation to Czech special education, the presented text draws from foreign sources, including scientific articles, research reports, conference proceedings, but also web portals dealing with punk subculture and...

In addition, the use of specific technological tools, such as computers, smartphones and interactive whiteboards, and their role in improving access to learning materials and increasing student engagement are characterized. The empirical part contains the results of our own empirical research, which was realised by the quantitative methodology. There were 21 surveyed university students from...

Martin Stanoev
Social Pathology and Prevention 2024, 10(2):23-36 | DOI: 10.25142/spp.2024.005 
The aim of this article is to focus on the potential benefits that a sociological way of thinking can bring to social work practice. An example illustrating the potential benefits of a sociological way of thinking for practice is the field of social work with homeless people (in housing need) and related social policy in the context of the Czech Republic.

The article is conceived as a scholarly essay based on the theoretical literature and the author’s professional experience. Outcome of scholarly essay...

Kristína Tkáčová
Social Pathology and Prevention 2024, 10(2):11-22 | DOI: 10.25142/spp.2024.004 
Achondroplasia is the most common form of congenital skeletal dysplasia, which has its own specific characteristics. The literature describes delays in motor functions, delays in speech development, but without further specification. Parents and educators of children with achondroplasia must deal with specific situations based on practice, as there is no professional literature that provides a theoretical basis for working with these children. The paper focuses on the description of grapho-motor skills in a child with achondroplasia, as this is an area that is disturbed due to the specifics in the development of fine motor skills, and it is necessary...

TRANSITIONAL FOSTER CARE AS A CRISIS INSTITUTE – EXPERIENCE AFTER 10 YEARS OF FUNCTIONINGArticles
Petr Míchal
Social Pathology and Prevention 2024, 10(1):65-84 | DOI: 10.25142/spp.2024.001 
Transitional foster care is a crisis institute of foster family care that has been developing significantly from 2013 to the present in the Czech Republic. The roots of today’s form of transitional foster care go back deep into history, and its development was also influenced by the changing view of foster care during the socialist period and the changes after 1989. Over the past 10 years, transitional foster care has become the dominant form of crisis care for newborn and young children in the Czech Republic. This is evidenced by the development of the number of families providing transitional foster care and the number of children entrusted...
ALTERNATING RESIDENCE AND SWINGING PENDULUM OF CONSTITUTIONAL COURTArticles
Martin Kornel
Social Pathology and Prevention 2024, 10(1):45-63 | DOI: 10.25142/spp.2024.003 
Statistics show that there has been a significant increase in the number of cases where a minor child is entrusted by the court order to the alternate care of his or her parents in the Czech Republic within the last 10 years. This is a consequence ofthe decision-making practice of the Constitutional Court, which emphasises the priority of alternate care and its importance for respecting the rights of both parents and the child. At the same time, data from foreign research show that, in general, the positives outweigh the negatives of such arrangements, or at least do not support the conclusion that alternating care has a worse impact on children than...
TRAUMA IN CHILDREN IN CONNECTION WITH CLOSE RELATIONSHIPSArticles
Leona Jochmannová
Social Pathology and Prevention 2024, 10(1):29-43 | DOI: 10.25142/spp.2023.020 
Knowledge regarding the impact of traumatic events on children has undergone dynamic development in the last decade. The new diagnostic manuals DSM-5 and ICD-11 bring a new perspective on the diagnostic classification and open up space to better identify and treat manifestations of the consequences of trauma in children by research findings. These manifestations are very broad and interchangeable with other diagnostic categories. Violence in close relationships then brings numerous specifics of the entire context of dynamics and impacts. Socially pathological phenomena observable in children’s behaviour must be identified and addressed through...
SERVICES FOR DIVORCING PARENTS – AN EMPOWERMENT TOOL OR DISEMPOWERING ELEMENTArticles
Martina Cirbusová
Social Pathology and Prevention 2024, 10(1):11-28 | DOI: 10.25142/spp.2024.002 
The family break-up is considered by experts to be one of the most difficult periods in a person’s life. Divorce brings destabilization to all areas of an individual’s life. Even though parents often think about the legal aspects of divorce, very soon other aspects, and effects in the psychological, economic, social, etc. aspects begin to emerge, which the individual family members must deal with. This article seeks to analyse, in the context of family breakdown, how the services offered to parents at this time in their lives either facilitate or undermine the use of parental authority, or when parents retain or lose autonomy in decision-making....
