Autorenporträt

Robbi Stevenson Woolard, PhD, has spent more than 35 years treating children, adolescents, and their families with traditional diagnoses and early childhood trauma. She has trained and incorporated dogs, horses, and other animals into treatment to restore regulation, function, and wellness in victims of interpersonal trauma. Woolard has been involved in the design and implementation of innovative programming and has developed and instituted crisis-response protocols for schools. She has also been involved in local, national, and international crisis and disaster response and collaborated in a multi-country, interagency initiative to develop a coordinated protocol for transportation disasters.

Rezensionen

'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.'
