This book provides mental health researchers and clinicians with valuable insight into the pathway that leads from developmental trauma to dysregulation and psychopathology.

Incorporating science that explains the impact of early trauma, this book details the theory, mechanisms, and applications of neurobiologically informed canine-assisted psychotherapy, using illuminating case studies that demonstrate the efficacy of the author's model.

Industry Reviews

'This book explains the neuroscience behind canine-assisted psychotherapy, detailing the mechanisms of change that produce regulation and resilience in children impacted by trauma. With over 35 years of co-producing significant clinical changes in conscientious partnerships with dogs, Woolard consolidates substantial research, literature, and experience to produce a resource for clinicians.'

Ron Kotkin, professor emeritus, University of California, Irvine

'With impressive depth and breadth, Dr. Woolard brings together a vast amount of theory and research to explain how child maltreatment causes dysregulation of neural systems and can lead to severe psychopathology. She provides a cogent explanation of the neurobiological implications of canine-assisted psychotherapy for children suffering from developmental trauma. This book is an invaluable resource for theorists, researchers, and clinicians in their search for more effective ways to help these children.'

Nancy Parish-Plass, author, clinician, researcher, and chairperson of the Israeli Association of Animal-Assisted Psychotherapy
