This book investigates the integration of animal-assisted interventions within the framework of solution-focused brief therapy to enhance client outcomes. Authors Marc Coulter and Teri Pichot draw upon their clinical experience to present a structured methodology for practitioners. They argue that the presence of an animal can accelerate the therapeutic process by fostering rapport and facilitating goal-oriented conversations. The text provides a practical guide for clinicians looking to incorporate non-human partners into their existing practice models.

Clinicians and students of psychology frequently cite this work as a practical resource for bridging the gap between animal-assisted interventions and brief therapy models. Experts highlight the text for its clear, actionable protocols that allow practitioners to implement these techniques immediately within their own clinical practices.
