Abstract

It has been scientifically proven that contact with animals leads to the development of physiological, psychological and social responses at all ages, from children to adults. As a result, Social and behavioral patho-psychology, the treatment with animals has grown all over the world and has started to be widely used. For this purpose, horses, dolphins and dogs are the most common animals used today in the treatment of autism and similar disorders. Treatment with these animals increases social interaction and communication in autistic children, while behavior problems, autistic excess and stress reduction are encouraging animals to use more widely and effectively in the treatment of autism and mental illnesses.

Özet

Hayvanlarla temasın çocuklardan yetişkinlere kadar her yaşta fizyolojik, psikolojik ve sosyal tepkilerin gelişmesine yol açtığı bilimsel olarak kanıtlanmıştır. Bunun sonucu olarak; sosyal ve davranış pato-psikolojisi ile seyreden otizmin tedavisinde de, hayvanlarla tedavi tüm dünyada çığ gibi büyümeye ve yaygın olarak kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Bu amaçla günümüzde otizm ve benzeri bozuklukların tedavilerinde en yaygın kullanılan hayvanların başında at, yunus ve köpekler gelmektedir. Bu hayvanlarla tedavinin otistik çocuklarda toplumsal etkileşim ve iletişimi artırması, buna karşılık davranış problemleri, otistik aşırılık ve stresi azaltması hayvanların otizm ve mental hastalıkların tedavisinde daha yaygın ve etkili kullanılmasını teşvik edici niteliktedir.
