I was born and spent my whole personal and professional life in the Košice district. I was particularly interested in psychology for the opportunity to help people on the basis of scientific knowledge. I graduated from high school and university in my hometown of Košice. I graduated with honours in psychology in 1979. I spent a decade working in a counselling system with gifted and disabled students, which inspired me to explore the psychological dispositions of students as well as pass on my knowledge and practical experience to psychology students. I have been working at the P. J. Šafárik University, which was also my alma mater, for more than a quarter of a century. I also enriched my work experience by teaching at the University of Economics in Bratislava, working as a psychologist in a children's home and other counselling institutions, which constantly inspires me in preparing psychology students for practice.

Selected projects

Project registration number: APVV 14-0921 The Slovak Research and Development Agency of the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sports of the Slovak Republic

Project title: Self-care as a factor in coping with the negative consequences of performing professions

Project implementation period: 07/2015 - 06/2019

Position in the project: principal investigator


The basic objective of the project is to verify the assumption that self-care is a predictor of experienced negative consequences of practising the helping professions. To this end, a follow-up verification of the possibility of eliminating the negative effects of practising the helping professions by means of change in self-care of people engaged in helping professions. Part of the verification of the hypothesis is revealing the current state of self-care in people doing helping professions in social care, as well as the simultaneous occurrence of negative consequences of practising the helping professions such as experiencing stress, burnout, vicarious trauma, and dissatisfaction with their work. The results will be validated questionnaires for self-care in helping professions, the acquisition of knowledge regarding these issues and the construction of intervention programs aimed to change the self-care and eliminate the negative effects of practising the helping professions. Intervention programs will be provided to welfare facilities.
