abstract

The paper introduces psychotherapeutic experience with alcohol addicted homeless clients. The focus of the article is motivation of a client from time perspective, i.e. a development of early, continuous, and final motivation of a client to change one’s life style after an intervention of the centre in Havířov. The author describes pitfalls of such motivation and refers to case studies of various clients. Readers can observe specifics of work with addicted clients without homes via symptoms of individual addiction development. The paper shows influences on clients’ motivation as well as specific features of the cooperation between a therapist and a client.
