The Three Agendas of Animal-assisted Therapy Animal-assisted Interventions: Recognizing and Mitigating Potential Welfare Challenges.
in Lori Kogan Ed. Animal-assisted Interventions Recognizing and Mitigating Potential Welfare Challenges
This chapter explores the reality of the impact of the human agenda on the animals involved in animal-assisted therapy (AAT). Therapists have a clinical agenda to reach with their client. Clients have an agenda to interact with the animal in certain ways yet animals are sentient beings with their own feelings, wants, needs, and preferences. Ethical AAT practice considers all three agendas and ensures that the animals in practice are both comfortable and receiving enjoyment in all AAT interactions. The chapter explores this concept through two very different case examples
