Description

Animals as the Third in Relational Psychotherapy: Exploring Theory, Frame and Practice explores how animals can be used in psychotherapy to bring about change. The authors examine contemporary relational psychoanalytic theory and its application in clinical settings.

The presence of an animal in therapy is seen as a way to reveal conflicts and make them available for analysis. Animals are treated as legitimate partners for relational and interpersonal processes, and their role can help bridge the gap between the unconscious and conscious mind.

This book aims to authorise the incorporation of animals into relational psychotherapy practice by extending conventional concepts to novel contexts. It provides a theoretical framework for considering the therapeutic effects of working with therapist, client, and animal in triadic interactions.
