Os benefícios psicológicos da cinoterapia: um estudo de revisão

Abstract

This research is a review study on the theme of cynotherapy, also encompassing aspects of therapy interventions, activity and animal-assisted education. In these visits, the dog acts as a co-therapist, being the most used animal in these intervention practices. Thus, the proposal of the work consists of appropriating information to understand the psychological benefits of therapy facilitated by dogs, where we also want to present its use, exploring how this method can help health professionals to improve their care techniques, promoting health and well-being, in a more humanized way. The methodology used in this research was the content analysis of Laurence Bardin, which made it possible to determine the corpus to be worked, in which four studies were chosen, and the criterion used for the choice was the publication referring to the last five years and the cynotherapy approach. And even with some gaps in the theme, we can say as a result that the study achieved its purpose in understanding the various benefits achieved in the application of cynotherapy.
