This book responds to the needs that arise at the intersection of
people and animals, focusing on human-animal interaction,
human-animal studies, the emotional work of caring for animals, and
animal-assisted interventions and therapies. Unlike many works that
focus primarily on issues at the micro level, such as
animal-assisted interventions, this volume is unique in its focus
on issues arising at the micro, macro, and mezzo levels,
encompassing human-animal issues and interactions at the level of
individuals and family, groups, institutions, and communities.
Accordingly, this comprehensive guide addresses the need to better
prepare practitioners to work in interdisciplinary environments,
whether in the context of theory, research, practice, or advocacy.
The authorship of the volume reflects the interdisciplinary
foundations of veterinary social work, with contributions from
social workers, psychologists, veterinarians, physicians,
anthropologists, and bioethicists. The volume is divided into five
parts that examine, respectively: the foundations (history and
scope) of veterinary social work (Part I); the practice of
veterinary social work with individuals, in the context of
community programs, and in social work practice (Part II);
veterinary social work and the veterinary setting, including
veterinary well-being and conflict management (Part III);
veterinary social work education (Part IV); and the future of
veterinary social work (Part V). Importantly, the volume addresses
not only practice issues in the veterinary, clinical, and community
settings, but also examines ethical concerns in the clinical and
research contexts and the implications of cultural and societal
variations on the practice of veterinary social work. The
Comprehensive Guide to Interdisciplinary Veterinary Social Work is
the definitive resource for social workers and psychologists new to
practice issues relating to animals, social work and psychology
students at the graduate and undergraduate levels, veterinarians
and veterinary students, hospital administrators (human hospitals),
and veterinary hospital managers.
