This book provides an overview of Animal-Assisted Activities
(AAA) and Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT) and demonstrates how they
can be incorporated into solution-focused treatment programs.
Pichot, focusing on the use of therapy dogs, starts with a
discussion of the basics of AAA/T and solution-focused therapy, as
well as what every practitioner should know about dogs before
partnering with them. Successfully combining all of this into an
effective treatment program is considered next. Pichot draws upon
her own experience developing an AAA/T program in the substance
abuse counseling program at a county public health agency to
illustrate the effective implementation of such a program and the
struggles and lessons learned in doing so. Using AAA/T with special
populations, cultural considerations, and the impact a therapy dog
can have on the handler. New in this edition are client scenarios
that demonstrate the therapist s thought process when making
clinical decisions about when and how to use a therapy dog. Sample
forms and treatment plans are also provided that professionals can
use to modify or structure in their work with clients. The concepts
and information provided in this valuable guide will be helpful for
any therapist regardless of whether he or she is in private
practice or working in an agency setting.
