Basic Animal Nutrition and Feeding Book

This is a fantastic book. One of the very few books looking at Animal Assisted Therapy in Counselling. It is very clear that the author is extremely experienced in the field - this is particularly helpful as she offers numerous case studies to put the theories and ideas into context. Chandler looks at the approach from different perspectives and takes into consideration numerous factors and variables, such as ethnicity, background, social background, education, when suggesting the approaches. It certainly helped me to think outside the box in my work and enlightened me on matters that I hadn't considered. Whilst the activities that she suggests are limited she does encourage the practitioner to be creative and to use their own imagination - in essence the activities are flexible and can be shaped to the client's needs, practitioners approach etc.

An extremely valuable book and one of the first I reach for when thinking about working with my clients with AAT.
