The identity of social work profession seems to be inconsistent. This is caused by different concept perception within the profession. One way of building greater stability of social work identity can be put the emphasis on the importance of values in the profession and their uniform definition. These two aspects are the main fulfillment of this Diploma thesis, in which the main aim is to reflect the concept of values in social work in relation to the perception and access to the professional identity of social work. The theme of this paper is built by defining the concept of value, which prevents mismatched importance in defining specific values in social work. The theme of following chapters is the role of values and definitions of individual values of social work based on career goals, code of ethics, foreign and Czech authors who write about the ethics of social work. The work is complemented by opinions of social workers who were involved in the research part of the project of Grant Agency of South Bohemian University No. 117/2013/H investigating the concept of quality of social work in relation to social worker´s selfdefining and his helpful professions.

The topic of the present thesis is professional ethics in interpreting. The thesis consists of two main parts - a theoretical part and empirical research. The theoretical part first defines ethics in terms of philosophy and introduces some key subject- related concepts. Subsequently, it focuses on professional ethics and characterizes the main documents that set out desirable standards of conduct within a certain profession - codes of ethics and codes of conduct. This general introduction is then followed by an overview of research into ethics in interpreting studies, and a brief outline of the history of codes of ethics for interpreters. The following chapters discuss ethical challenges in different interpreting settings and briefly introduce major Czech and foreign professional organizations of interpreters. The core of the theoretical part compares ten selected codes of ethics of different Czech and international professional interpreters organizations; based on this comparison, basic rights and obligations of interpreters are identified and further analysed in the empirical part. The empirical part of the thesis presents and discusses the results of a questionnaire survey focusing on selected topics of interpreting ethics discussed in the theoretical part. The aim of the survey, which was...

O presente estudo pretende construir uma reflexão sobre a função da confidencialidade para os profissionais de saúde que lidam com pessoas envolvidas em casos de incesto, na tentativa de avaliar os limites éticos destas intervenções. A metodologia utilizada constituiu-se por uma reflexão teórica baseada na experiência de trabalho da autora no CEARAS, referendada pela Bioética e pela Psicanálise e ilustrada por uma pesquisa realizada com os profissionais de saúde, incluindo os médicos, enfermeiras, técnicas e auxiliares de enfermagem e assistentes sociais do Pronto-Atendimento Pediátrico do Hospital Universitário da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo. Entrevistas livres de exploração sobre a possibilidade de atendimento a crianças e adolescentes com suspeitas de abuso sexual e o modo de lidar com estas questões foram realizadas com os profissionais. As entrevistas foram gravadas e transcritas para serem analisadas através do método de análise de conteúdo. O atendimento de pacientes envolvidos em situações de abuso sexual é considerado pelos profissionais de saúde como um problema de difícil abordagem. A ausência do conflito entre a quebra do segredo profissional e a manutenção do vínculo de confiança entre profissional de Saúde e paciente em situações de incesto demonstra a dificuldade de os profissionais lidarem com tais casos e discriminarem a função de um profissional de saúde, pelo incesto se tratar justamente do tabu estruturante do ser humano. / This work intends to build up considerations about the confidentiality function for health professionals who deal with people involved in cases of incest, trying to evaluate the ethical limits of these interventions. The methodology used was a theoretical reflection based on Bioethics and Psychoanalyses and was illustrated by research with health professionals, including doctors, nurses, social workers and nurse assistants from Pediatric Emergency Room at University Hospital of São Paulo University. Free exploring interviews about the possibility of attending children and adolescents with suspects of sexual abuse and the way to deal professionally with such situation were conducted with those professionals. The interviews were recorded and transcribed for analysis through content analysis technique. The attendance of patients involved in sexual abuse situations is considered by health professionals as a difficult problem to approach. The absence of conflict between breaking professional secrecy and the maintenance of the reliance bond between the health professional and the patient on incest situations, shows the difficulties for the professionals to deal with people involved in those cases and, to discriminate the function of a health professional, by considering incest as a structuralizing taboo from the essence of human being.

The diploma thesis deals with the topic of the theoretical establishment of the professional pedagogical chamber in the Czech Republic as a public-law institution in terms of ethical and moral patronage of the teaching profession. The profession of teacher is characterized by thorough and demanding work with people, requiring not only extensive knowledge, which is subsequently passed on to pupils and students, but also respect of moral and ethical principles, which presents teachers in public as a valuable profession, but also sets the model for exemplary and desirable behavior in society. At present, however, there is no public-law self-governing professional organization in the Czech Republic that associates members of the teaching profession and morally and ethically shields their profession, as is done, for example, by the medical or advocacy chamber of their members. This, in conjunction with the persistent absence of a defined teacher's professional standard and formal code of ethics, leads to lack of an idea who should teachers refer to regarding the problems of ethics and moral behaviour, what is expected from them in this area and also have no support in a legally established and functional professional organization. The aim of this diploma thesis is therefore to identify and describe the...

This research thesis focuses on the experiences of pre-service drama teachers and considers how process drama may assist them to reflect on key aspects of professional ethics such as mandatory codes or standards, principled moral reasoning, moral character, moral agency, and moral literacy. Research from higher education provides evidence that current pedagogical approaches used to prepare pre –professionals for practice in medicine, engineering, accountancy, business, psychology, counselling, nursing and education, rarely address the more holistic or affective dimensions of professional ethics such as moral character. Process drama, a form of educational drama, is a complex improvisational group experience that invites participants to create and assume roles, and select and manage symbols in order to create a fictional world exploring human experience. Many practitioners claim that process drama offers an aesthetic space to develop a deeper understanding of self and situations, expanding the participant’s consciousness and ways of knowing. However, little research has been conducted into the potential efficacy of process drama in professional ethics education for pre-professionals. This study utilizes practitioner research and case study to explore how process drama may contribute to the development of professional ethics education and pedagogy.
