The human-animal bond may be described as a dynamic, mutually
beneficial relationship between people and the animals they care
for. There are a multitude of mental and physical health benefits
for people who care for animals, and animals in therapy have been
shown to aid a wide range of people and illnesses. Although the
benefits of animal companionship have long been suspected, little
is known about the research, the process, or why it works. This
book provides clinicians with a history of the human-animal bond
and the rationale for incorporating animals into therapy today. In
this book, the author includes a discussion of the myriad of ways
that clinicians can directly help people care for their pets, such
as crisis intervention services, policy issues, grief counseling
for pet loss, and compassion fatigue in the veterinary profession.
There also is a thorough discussion of animal-assisted therapy
(AAT) as a distinct and unique modality. The adaptive nature of AAT
is not only due to the symbiotic relationship between humans and
animals, but also because of the flexible nature of the model; it
can be used with clients of all demographics and with most mental
illnesses. Research shows that the majority of mental health
practitioners believe that AAT is a valid treatment modality, but
AAT has not yet been manualized and clinicians are left confused
about where to start. The Human-Animal Bond in Clinical Social Work
Practice is a unique and essential resource that provides
guidelines for developing AAT treatment plans and integrating AAT
with existing therapeutic models. The book answers the questions
that social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental
health counselors may have about the benefits of the human-animal
bond and ways to tap into that special bond in direct practice.
