Description

Animal-assisted Psychotherapy Theory, Issues, and Practice by Nancy Parish-Plass The integration of animals into therapy settings has become a growing trend in psychotherapy. This approach treats a range of psychological problems, including emotional and behavioral issues, attachment problems, trauma, and developmental disorders. Research suggests that a significant number of therapists now incorporate animals into their treatment, with Israel emerging as a leader in this field. This book provides an in-depth look at animal-assisted psychotherapy (AAP) as it is used in Israel. It explores the theory and practice of AAP, focusing on evidence-based and clinically sound applications with psychotherapeutic goals. The book also discusses the challenges the field still needs to overcome to gain widespread legitimacy.
