Animal-Assisted Interventions
DESCRIPTION
- Animal-assisted interventions (AAIs) promote well-being and create a positive healing environment through interaction with an animal, either as an independent activity or integrated into another treatment modality.
- The use of animals as a tool for promotion of mental health is longstanding, with accounts of animal-assisted inpatient psychiatric models dating back to the 18th century.[1]
