From anxiety disorder to obsessive-compulsive disorder to the burnout syndrome--the psychologist takes you on a journey through the everyday work of her office.

Valuable tips help explain what you need to take into consideration and show you how the use of dogs in psychotherapy differs from that of other therapy dogs.
Step by step, and with a practical orientation, this book shows you how to successfully implement working with dogs as co-therapists in psychotherapy.
