Zooterapi'de Yöntem, Ölçme ve Değerlendirme

Hayvanlar kullanılarak insanlarda yapılan terapiler (zooterapi) çeşitli hastalıkların tedavilerinde kullanılmakla birlikte, daha çok mental bozukluklarda öne çıktığı görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada at ve köpeklerin bu amaçla kullanılmasında takip edilmesi gereken yöntem ve ölçme teknikleri ile ilgili bilgiler derlenmiştir. Veteriner sahada bir ilk olması münasebeti ile bu çalışma pratiğe oldukça önemli bilgiler sağlayacak niteliktedir.

Method, Measurement and Evaluation in Zootherapy

Therapies made in humans using animals (zootherapy) are used in the treatment of various diseases, but they appear to be more prominent in mental disorders. In this study, information about the methods and measurement techniques to be followed in the use of horses and dogs for this purpose is compiled. With the veterinarian being the first on the scene, this work will provide considerable information to the practice.
