Eva Jendrulková

Diskuze v psychologii 2023, 5(2):16-22 | DOI: 10.5507/dvp.2023.014  

This paper is an overview of phenomenological perspectives that deal with the experience of time during schizophrenia. The issue of time for schizophrenic individuals has been a central theme in the field of phenomenological psychopathology for a number of years and has roots in the philosophical tradition of phenomenology-especially in the ideas of Husserl and Merleau-Ponty.

In the present study emphasis is placed on the viewpoint of implicit temporal consciousness from the perspectives of both phenomenology and phenomenological...

Zuzana Michalove, Mária Bačíková

Diskuze v psychologii 2023, 5(2):32-36 | DOI: 10.5507/dvp.2025.001  

In recent years, there has been a rise in parental overinvolvement, prompting the need for a systematic examination of this phenomenon. This project aims to explore parents' subjective perception of overinvolvement and its connection to the well-being of both parents and their adolescent children. While existing studies have focused on the origins and impacts of involvement, there is a lack of research on parents' subjective perceptions. The project has three main objectives: 1) To identify parents' subjective perception of both involvement and overinvolvement through semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis. 2) To investigate the perceived...
