Discharge of debts of the spouses Abstract Discharge of debts represents, on principle, a new institute, which has been implemented into our law by the Insolvency Act with effect since 1. 1. 2008.

In her paper, the authoress has been focused on the interpretation of the historical development of the joint discharge of debts of the spouses from the effect of the Insolvency Act, through its amendments up to the current wording thereof, including the illustrations in insolvency proceedings and judicial decisions. In several points, the prepared amendment to the Insolvency Act, which has been debated by the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic, has also been mentioned in several points.

This qualitative phenomenological study explored the experience of being in a romantic relationship with a couples therapist. Fourteen spouses participated in semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using descriptive phenomenology and themes were identified through meaning units. A majority of spouses experienced ambiguity on whether aspects of their couple relationship were influenced by their therapist partner’s profession or their therapist partner’s personality. Aspects of the therapist partner’s career did spillover into the couple’s relationship, such as limited time spent together, finances, confidentiality, and their therapist partner’s relationship expertise. Spouses talked about the benefits of their therapist partner’s expertise to their couple relationship, such as their therapist partner’s advice and relational skills. At the same time that spouses wanted their therapist partner’s expertise to be present in the couple relationship, spouses also did not want their therapist partner to be their therapist. Nevertheless, spouses felt pride and protectiveness of their therapist partner’s profession. Spouses helped their therapist partner by supporting, listening, and encouraging their partner’s profession. Clinical implications and directions of future research were addressed. / Master of Science
