THE ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT OF CHILDREN WHO AB...

Empirical research has clearly demonstrated that animal abuse in childhood is associated with
family violence and violent behavior towards humans in general. Such abuse is accordingly of
increasing interest within human services and the criminal justice system. This handbook will
serve as an ideal resource for therapists in social work  psychology  psychiatry  and allied
fields who work with children who have abused animals. It provides step-by-step guidance on how
to assess  develop appropriate treatment plans for  and treat children who commit animal abuse
based on the AniCare model developed by the Animals and Society Institute. Exercises cover the
identification and expression of feelings  the development of empathy  self-management skills 
and working with parents. Careful consideration is also paid to the effects of witnessing
animal abuse. The theoretical framework is eclectic  encompassing cognitive behavioral 
psychodynamic  and attachment theories. A number of illustrative case studies are included 
along with excerpts from treatment sessions. Accompanying electronic supplementary material
demonstrates role-played assessment and treatment and includes workshop presentations of
pedagogic material.
