This document discusses the use of animal-assisted therapy (AAT) and presents several potential research objectives related to its applications in psychotherapy and medical settings. It introduces AAT and provides reasons why it is an effective therapeutic regimen. Some key benefits mentioned include helping clients develop improved social interactions and identifying improvements to mood and behavior. Example research objectives listed are measuring physiological indicators like serotonin/dopamine levels and oxytocin releases in participants. The document also notes safety considerations for using AAT in clinical settings and concludes by encouraging kindness towards therapy animals.

- 2. Welcome to Our Presentation on the Use of Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT)
- 3. Please WCH Dragons, Be kind to us!
- 4. A Good Reason for WCH to Use Animal Assisted Therapy
- 5. Yet, Another Reason AAT is a Good Choice as a Therapeutic Regimen
- 8. How do you quantify a feeling?
- 9. Sample Research Objectives for Psychotherapy Applications Participants will be able to define how the use of AAT interactions help clients and their extended families develop improved social interactions as extensions of natural socialization processes used by human beings. Participants will identify improvements to mood and behavior using AAT in an individual or group therapy setting. Researchers can use mesurements of seratonin and dopamine in the human brain as well as hormonal releases of oxytocin in participants as a biological research milestone.
- 10. Why AAT Doesn't Work!
- 11. How Animals Assist People to Maintain Good Health
- 12. Sample Research Objectives for Medical Applications 1 Researchers with the help of participants will be able to develop research information on the use of animals as mental and physical health monitors in people. Examples of this is the ability of some companion animals to smell for and sense the approach of death in humans, and other chronic health conditions like cardiac conditions, diabetes and epilepsy. This ability can be used to aid both clinicians and patients in pre and post operative management of these life threatening conditions.
- 13. Sample Research Objectives for Medical Applications 2 Participants will be able to help researchers identify how AAT helps them develop natural levels of immunity through the reduction of stress related hormones like cortisol and nor-epinephrine Participants will be able to help researchers with initiatives that show the effects of woman centered AAT programs in hospitals and institutions as a therapetutic management tool to assist in pain regulation, mood adjustments and minimizing stress and other factors associated with hospitalization in either short or long term care situations.
- 14. When AAT is used in Clinics and Institutions, you need to post signs like this to keep animals safe.
- 16. In Conclusion Dragons, Just Remember to;
- 17. Thank You!
