Have you ever looked deep into the eyes of an animal and felt
entirely known? Often, the connections we share with non-human
animals represent our safest and most reliable relationships,
offering unique and profound opportunities for healing in periods
of hardship. This book focuses on research developments, models,
and practical applications of human-animal connection and
animal-assisted intervention for diverse populations who have
experienced trauma. Physiological and psychological trauma are
explored across three broad and interconnected domains: 1) child
maltreatment and family violence; 2) acute and post-traumatic
stress, including military service, war, and developmental trauma;
and 3) times of crisis, such as the ever-increasing occurrence of
natural disasters, community violence, terrorism, and anticipated
or actual grief and loss. Contributing authors, who include
international experts in the fields of trauma and human-animal
connection, examine how our relationships with animals can help
build resiliency and foster healing to transform trauma. A myriad
of animal species and roles, including companion, therapy, and
service animals are discussed. Authors also consider how animals
are included in a variety of formal and informal models of trauma
recovery across the human lifespan, with special attention paid to
canine- and equine-assisted interventions and psychotherapy. In
addition, authors emphasize the potential impacts to animals who
provide trauma-informed services, and discuss how we can respect
their participation and implement best practices and ethical
standards to ensure their well-being. The reader is offered a
comprehensive understanding of the history of research in this
field, as well as the latest advancements and areas in need of
further or refined investigation. Likewise, authors explore, in
depth, emerging practices and methodologies for helping people and
communities thrive in the face of traumatic events and their
long-term impacts. As animals are important in cultures all over
the world, cross-cultural and often overlooked animal-assisted and
animal welfare applications are also highlighted throughout the
text.
