What is Animal-Assisted Therapy? A Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy Podcast Episode‪.‬ THE PSYCHOLOGY WORLD PODCAST

    • Social Sciences

All of us have heard of dog therapy, therapy animals and a
wide range of different examples of psychotherapy that involve animals. As a clinical psychology graduate, I have to admit I am very unsure of these therapies, how these therapies work and their effectiveness. Yet until now, I have never learnt about these therapies in any great depth. Therefore, in this clinical psychology episode, you’ll learn about what is animal-assisted therapy, how does it work and what can be it used for. If you enjoy learning about therapy, clinical psychology and mental health then you’ll enjoy today’s episode for sure.

In the psychology news section, you'll learn how "humourbragging" could help you land a job, how crossing gender stereotypes helps "I'm sorry" go further, and why babies can link sight and touch at four months.

And definitely listen to the personal update as Connor delivers a passionate pro-"working in the public sector" rant after having a classist conversation on the day of recording. Future psychologists NEED to hear this rant.

LISTEN NOW!
