Animals as Motivators:Dolphin-Assisted Therapy (CPE 9 359)
Term: 2019-2020 Academic Year Fall
Therapeutic interventions are often based upon the motivational relationship for client participation. Therapy is also centered on the functional activities within the community. The use of animals seems to bring these two outcomes of motivation to partici?pate and functional community activity together. This seminar will explore the history, theory and research outcomes related to animal assisted therapy and in particular the use of dolphins as a therapeutic tool.
