Animal Assisted Therapy | Punk Ass Motherfucker

Animal-assisted therapy (AAT) is a type of alternative or complementary therapy that incorporates animals into the treatment process to improve a patient's social, emotional, or cognitive functioning. AAT has evolved to include a wide range of animals, from dogs and horses to cats and even fish. The therapy can be classified by the type of animal used, the targeted population, and how the animal is incorporated into the therapeutic plan. Equine-assisted therapy is being used to help veterans with PTSD, while canine-assisted therapy is being used to help children with autism.
