Efectos comportamentales, emocionales y cognitivos de la terapia asistida con animales, en pacientes con demencia

Resumen

The Human-Animal relationship has been present for centuries, since prehistoric times where coexistence was the main competition between the human being and the different wild animals of the time, or even the worship of these by some cultures. In the year 1200 B.C. The Greeks had dogs as co-therapists in their healing temples. In the 16th century, Dr. Calcius, a British royal doctor, recommended sick people to have contact with dogs. In the 17th century in Europe, the horse becomes an element in the treatment of people with disabilities. (Affinity Foundation 1987, 2021)
