Animal-Assisted Counseling and Psychotherapy: A Clinician's Guide is an essential resource for clinical mental health professionals who are considering integrating animals into their work. This unique text provides in-depth information and examples of how to provide treatment with real clients, describing hundreds of interventions, while also addressing essential legal and ethical issues. Written with compassion and consideration for both animals and humans, Animal-Assisted Counseling and Psychotherapy (AACP) explores working with varied and unique therapy animals, the application of training skills, and how animals can be powerfully incorporated into treatment with children, teenagers, adults, couples, and families. A thorough reference on integrating animals into professional practice, this book gives clinicians the tools to spark their creativity as they embark on the amazing journey of AACP.
Linda Chassman Craddock's first animal partner was her cat, Norman, who in 1995 showed how he could calm and challenge clients with difficult trauma in a unique and compassionate way. Her experience as a clinician and educator led to cofounding Animal Assisted Therapy Programs of Colorado (AATPC) in 2010, where she now serves as executive director. Her passion for animal rescue has, over the years, provided permanent homes for dozens of animals at the AATPC therapy farm, Barking C.A.A.T. Ranch. Chassman Craddock has presented and trained internationally on the topic of animal-assisted psychotherapy. Ellen Kinney Winston worked in animal welfare and mental health settings, where she noticed significant overlap in her work with both humans and animals. She envisioned bringing them together in a mutually beneficial way and was able to fulfill that dream in 2010, with the help of her rescue dog, Sasha, when she cofounded Animal Assisted Therapy Programs of Colorado (AATPC). Kinney Winston currently works as AATPC's training director, overseeing, and educating mental health professionals internationally through the organization's certificate program.
