How do Therapists View Children's Interactions with Animals?

Thank you for participating in this research study.  The goal of the study is to better understand how therapists conceptualize cases, especially cases involving interactions with animals.    

You will be asked to read four short vignettes describing children referred for therapy.  You will be asked to answer some questions after each vignette so that you can provide your opinion about each case.  The entire questionnaire is likely to take approximately 20 minutes.

Your participation is voluntary, and you may withdraw at any time without penalty.

You may choose to complete the questionnaire anonymously.  If you do choose to provide your contact information, the data will be de-identified when it is received.

Participants will be offered the opportunity to enter a raffle to win their choice of a 1-hour tour of the Sam and Myra Ross Institute at Green Chimneys in Brewster, New York, or a Green Chimneys’ gift basket. For more information on the Institute, please visit the Green Chimneys website.
