Biography
​My current position at Adiktologie journal is Deputy Editor-in-Chief and Editor in charge. I established the journal with my colleagues in 2001 and since then I have been responsible for its financial background and publishing (we set up our own small publishing house for this purpose based on NGO principles). I am a member of the editorial boards of Journal of Groups in Addiction and Recovery, and Czech and Slovak Psychiatry. I am also a research fellow at the National Focal Point for Drugs and Drug Addictions, specializing in qualitative methods and research in the field of addictions, and I am responsible for the development of evaluation tools and a system of quality and efficiency control of preventive and treatment care. I graduated from the Philosophical Faculty of Masaryk University in Brno in 1998. In 2002, I received a Ph.D. degree in Clinical Psychology at Palacky University in Olomouc. In the same year, I was employed as a researcher at the Institute of Psychology of the Academy of Science of the Czech Republic. I am vice-dean for non-medical health study programs in the 1st Medical Faculty and I am also head of the Center of Addictology at the Psychiatric clinic of the 1st Medical Faculty, Charles University, Prague.
