Summary
This text explores the history and practice of Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) in counseling. It discusses the latest empirical research in the field and offers guidelines for implementing the practice of AAT in a variety of settings, including community counseling agencies, schools, private practices, and universities. It features case examples, explains how to select, train, and evaluate an animal for therapy work, and examines ethical considerations, risk management, diversity issues, and crisis response applications. Sample forms to be used in evaluating clients and recording session data are included, as well as illustrations to facilitate some of the recommended AAT techniques. The second edition features all of the material from the previous, updated and expanded, as well as a new chapter on animal assisted techniques and counseling theories and an expanded section on equine assisted counseling.
