It offers a historical overview of the practice, detailing its growth, efficacy, and the many ways it is practiced today. It contains illustrative examples such as successful programs where children with reading problems read aloud to canine companions, and illuminates the nature and effectiveness of animal-assisted therapy. In examining those programs the work explores how the practice is applied both generally and among special populations, incuding children, the elderly, autustic individuals, and the incarcerated. The book also provides specific information of interest to pet owners who want to get involved in these programs and includes information on U.S. government requirements allowing guide dogs in public and private facilities. 000428970 650_0 $$aAnimals$$xTherapeutic use. 000428970 650_0 $$aPets$$xTherapeutic use. 000428970 650_0 $$aHuman-animal relationships. 000428970 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aAltschiller, Donald.$$tAnimal-assisted therapy.$$dSanta Barbara, Calif. : Greenwood, 2011$$z9780313357206$$w(DLC) 2010046066$$w(OCoLC)672979507 000428970 830_0 $$aHealth and medical issues today. 000428970 8520_ $$bacq 000428970 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000428970 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=678261$$zOnline Access 000428970 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:428970$$pGLOBAL_SET 000428970 980__ $$aEBOOK 000428970 980__ $$aBIB 000428970 982__ $$aEbook 000428970 983__ $$aOnline
