  • Is Animal-Assisted Therapy for Minimally Conscious State Beneficial? A Case Study.
    Frontiers in psychiatry, 2020
    Co-Authors: Jacqueline P. Boitier, Marion Huber, Christian Saleh, Matthew James Kerry, Margret Hund-georgiadis, Karin Hediger
    Abstract:

    Objective: The goal of this single case study was to qualitatively investigate the effects of Animal-Assisted Therapy in a patient in a minimally conscious state. Method: We present a 28-year-old female patient in a minimally conscious state following polytrauma after a sports accident leading to cerebral fat embolism causing multiple CNS ischemic lesions. She received eight Animal-Assisted Therapy sessions and eight paralleled control Therapy sessions over four weeks. We investigated the reactions of the patient during these sessions via qualitative behavior analysis. Results: The patient showed a broader variability and higher quality of behavior during Animal-Assisted Therapy compared to control Therapy sessions. Conclusion: The observed behavioral changes showed higher arousal and increased awareness in the presence of an Animal. The presented case supports the assumption that Animal-Assisted Therapy can be a beneficial treatment approach for patients in a minimally conscious state.
