Diploma thesis Professional Identity of the School Psychologist, shows a profession of a school psychologist through the demands that are set before this profession, relationships in which the school psychologist is and a role in which he/she is engaged. The text is divided into a theoretical part, which contains information from the literature on the topic, part of the methodology, which shows the reader how to obtain research data and a practical part, which presents results of analysis of interviews with the school psychologists. In the first part we learn about issues of professional identity mainly from the perspective of social psychology. The text describes theoretically, on the basis of Czech and foreign literature, the profession of the school psychologist since its inception in foreign countries to the current forms. The theoretical part describes activities that characterize the profession of the school psychologist. Based on the work of several authors we specify the roles of the school psychologist. In the theoretical part we arise from the knowledge of professional identity of the school psychologist. Defining the profession of the school psychologist in the theoretical part provides basic understanding of the research chapters. The practical part is based on interpretation of...

Ce travail vise une exploration du sens autour de l’identité dans les romans de Sylvie Germain qui est une auteure importante de la littérature française contemporaine. L’univers romanesque de l’auteure interroge l’existence humaine et incite le lecteur à se poser des questions sur la vie et l’identité. En mettant en jeu la vie fictive de ses personnages, Sylvie Germain dénonce les contraintes du monde moderne et contemporaine qui provoquent les troubles de l'identité chez les gens. Les romans de notre corpus (“Chanson des Mal-aimants”, “Magnus”, “L’inaperçu”) sont traversés par cette problématique de l’identité qui marque tout le parcours des acteurs-personnages. Dans notre étude, nous nous proposons de mettre en évidence les différents aspects de la problématique identitaire dans une perspective sémiotique. En examinant le dispositif affectif, cognitif et modal des personnages romanesques, nous nous attardons sur leurs rôles et attitudes de façon à relever le changement et la permanence dans leur construction identitaire. Notre étude s’appuie notamment sur l’analyse des “formes de vie” qui déterminent les modes d’existence et de persévérance des personnages dans leur cours de vie marqué par l’incertitude et les obstacles. Notre analyse cherche à déterminer les perturbations qui affectent la construction identitaire des personnages. A travers l’analyse sémiotique qui nous permet d’étudier les différentes dimensions du discours romanesque - narrative, figurative, affective, énonciative-, nous nous proposons de saisir les éléments significatifs concernant la configuration de l’identité dans l’univers romanesque de Sylvie Germain. / This work aims to explore the meaning of identity in the novels of Sylvie Germain, who is an important author of contemporary French literature. The novelistic universe of the author que stions the human existence and encourages the reader to ask questions about life and identity. By putting into play the fictional life of her characters, Sylvie Germain denounces the constraints of the modern and contemporary world that cause identity disorders in people. The novels of our corpus ("The Song of False lovers ", "Magnus", "Hidden Lives") are met by this issue of identity that marks the whole journey of actors-characters. In our study, we propose to highlight the different aspects of the problem of identity in a semiotic perspective. By examining the affective, cognitive and modal features of the fictional characters, we focus on their roles and attitudes in order to identify change and permanence in their identity construction. Our study is based in particular on the analysis of "life forms" which determine the modes of existence and perseverance of the characters in their course of life marked by uncertainty and obstacles. Our analysis seeks to determine the disturbances that affect the identity construction of the characters. Through the semiotic analysis that allows us to study the different dimensions of the novelistic discourse-narrative, figurative, affective, enunciative-we propose to capture the significant elements concerning the configuration of identity in Sylvie Germain’s novel universe.

This research examines narratives about the quality of everyday life with dementia. The aim of the study is to compare and contrast differing perspectives about the impact of ageing and dementia upon the lives of older people with dementia. A total of 50 interviews with six older people with dementia and ten family and paid carers were conducted over a two-year period. Narrative analysis was used to examine the content and structure of their accounts to understand their perspectives on what matters most to people living with dementia. This in-depth analysis enabled an exploration of different social concepts and narrative constructions that people draw upon in making sense of their experiences of caring and living with dementia. The analysis demonstrated that older people incorporate ageing and dementia into a continuing sense of self. Positive constructions of living with dementia involve the ability to lead a meaningful life that supports pre-existing social roles and relationships and active engagement within the family and community. The emphasis is on living an ordinary life while responding to the challenges associated with cognitive impairment and social stigma. For family and paid carers, perceptions of a meaningful life depend on how the identity of the older person with dementia is positioned relative to past social roles and relationships. Positive constructions assume continuity as opposed to focusing on disruption in the person’s identity and life. Carer perspectives are also influenced by how the person is perceived to conform to social standards of normality. The narratives of older people with dementia reflect their active struggle to find meaning in terms of realising their sense of self within a social world that largely defines them as different and out of the ordinary. The narratives of carers resonate with emotional difficulty, reflecting their struggle to make sense of a life that is not represented as essentially normal. These findings show that, for all, finding meaning in everyday life depends upon making sense of that life as normal and ordinary.
