The article relates socioanalysis to the so-called ‘science of the suffering subject; as developed on the borders between phenomenological anthropology, psychopathology and psychoanalysis. Before any scientific or clinical objectivation (typification, diagnosis etc.), this ‘science’ – or, rather, analytic – thematizes the affective space of suffering, viewing it not only as intrapsychic but as intersubjective, intercorporeal and shareable, without presupposing the practical dualisms (between psychic and somatic, individual and social, abnormal and normal) or the division of labour between the ‘sufferance experts’. The text focuses on one of the instances in this affective space – the ‘ear’ of the analyst (who can be a lay person) and the listening to the other’s suffering. The first section thematizes the pathos turn in the concept of experience, placing it in the historical context of Benjamin’s diagnosis of the ‘devaluation of experience’, the weakening of its communicability, and the ‘decline of storytelling’. The second section problematizes – in the context of an actual case – the limits of dialogue in the course of narrative construction of identity, as well as the corporeal ‘enactment’ of a situation of vulnerability. The third paragraph presents situations of professional listening – correspondingly the suffering of the schizophrenic (in the dispositive of phenomenological psychopathology) and the ‘everyday sufferance from society’ (in the dispositive of Bourdieu’s socioanalysis. This demonstrates how precisely self-telling and self-understanding today are increasingly more and more constituted as from the active, maieutic listening. The article argues that the maieutic listener represents a specific ‘transitional figure of experience’ and a ‘primary representative’ (in the sense of Waldenfels) of the suffering subject, one to whom is due a fundamental achievement of social life: reflexive existential knowledge, respectively – the recognition of suffering.

Depressive disorders commonly co-occur with substance use disorders. In this article, different types of relationship between depression and substance use disorders are reviewed. For example, some research studies show that depressive disorder is a predictor for substance use disorder and precede the substance abuse. According to other researchers however, depressive disorders induced by substance use/abuse. Third explanatory model insists that there’s no causal relationship between these two types of disorders and that they both are rather caused by some „third“ factor. Lastly, it is highly recommended more prospective investigations of relationships between depression and substance use disorders to be done, in order to improve prevention and therapy of these disorders.

The paper is devoted to a topical multidisciplinary problem connected with the verbal description of headache by patients with neurological disorders. The authors present the descriptive words gathered as a result of free discussions with patients, who were divided into 3 groups in accordance with their way of describing headache.

The development and specification of pain questionnaires is carried out within the patient-specific approach. These auxiliary materials are particularly important for bilingual and multilingual patients as well as for patients with alexithymic features and various types of speech disorders.

The article explores the contributions of one of the founders of client-centered approach - Carl Rogers in terms of his understanding of empathy. On this basis, empathy is considered a key skill in casework as it helps us to better understand the situation that the client presents because the social worker builds his assessment and plans interventions based on good knowledge of the needs, aspirations, desires, fears and the overall way of looking at the world and their own situation by the client. The formation of a trusting relationship involves precisely the authentic understanding Rogers had about empathy. The purpose of this article is to examine the place of empathy in the client centered approach in social case work - theoretical background, practical and methodological aspects, criticism and limitations of the approach.

In the context of the modern education a leading role is allotted to the pedagogical ability to respect and stimulate every pupil’s free choice as a unique code to interpretation of knowledge.

The specific effects of its performance – those of allusion and attitude are not only an exponent of interpretative skills for artistic recreation of a fable. They are also an original feedback of the pupil, which favours an opening of his reflexive skills and premises a development of his selfeffectiveness.

The article presents a few theses on anxiety, anxiety disorder and neurosis. The main concept that connects the supported positions is that anxiety differs from anxiety disorder. The experience of the anxious person is understood as an openness to a primal horror; hence, the neurotization, the anxiety disorder is an effect of the efforts to gain distance and protect the psyche from this experience (which transforms it into fear and makes it endurable). Thus, the neurotic subject is described as a producer of objects of fear. Regarding the social aspects of suffering of anxiety disorder, the article suggests that the neurotic person has access to no specific language that could effectively convey his/her experience as the vocabulary of anxiety is widely used to describe daily forms of worry and insecurity.

Attitudes are one of the most studied phenomena in psychology. There are many methods for measuring the direction and intensity, which are used in practice. However, existing procedures show significant deficits in an effort to be applied to measure attitudes toward death.
