Expanded Description:
Provides a comprehensive overview of the many ways in which animals can be used to assist therapists. Coverage includes how animals can be used to help with specific patient populations (children, the disabled, AIDS patients, etc.), how they can be used in specific settings (hospitals, prisons, independent practice, etc.), and how to select appropriate animals (species, breed, and individual temperament) and design an AAT program. Contributors represent the top people in the field from hospital settings, vet hospitals, animal training centers, and therapists in practice. This is a pretty technical book, not for the average pet owner who wants to take his dog to visit.
