The thesis deals with the problem of discrimination and stigmatization of people with a psychotic illness, its ethical as well as legal dimension and the specificity of social work with this target group. The thesis consists of five chapters. In chapter I. I briefly define health and illness in general and the specifics of mental health and mental disorders. In chapter II. I describe psychotic illness in general i.e. formation, symptoms and manifestation, treatment and I also shortly introduce particular types of psychotic illnesses. In chapter III. I specialize in the application of ethics in social work and in ethical and legal problems in psychiatry. Chapter IV. deals with the specifics of discrimination and stigmatization of people with a psychotic illness. I present the most frequent areas in which discrimination occurs, consequences which are caused by discrimination and stigmatization, activities leading to their moderation and legal standards that are supposed to aim at the prevention of discrimination and ensure the protection of rights for mentally ill people. I ethically reflect these issues. Chapter IV. is concerned with the specifics of social work with people suffering from a psychotic illness. I describe how to work with such a target group, I introduce methods of social work helping clients with a psychotic illness to function socially, to integrate into the society and reduce the impact of stigmatization and discrimination.
