Paws for thought: Webinar on Companionate Dogs
About this webinar
Sigmund Freud became a dog lover in adulthood, keeping dogs in his home for most of his career. Perhaps his most well-known was a chow named Jofi. Freud noted how Jofi offered an additional set of interpretive eyes in therapy and provided time keeping for sessions.The webinar will review the possible nature of our ‘attachments’ with these best friends. It will also look at possible impact of the presence of dogs within therapy and the current understanding of use of therapy dogs.
