Abstract
ABSTRACTThe human-animal bond is an example of the importance of connections between living beings in general. In a relational model, inner growth throughout the life span takes place in the context of connections. The primary mode of communication between human and animal is attunement, the mutual picking up of, and responding to, the subjective state of another creature. Human-animal relationships provide safe, responsive settings for inner growth.
期刊介绍:
A vital forum for academic dialogue on human-animal relations, Anthrozoös is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that has enjoyed a distinguished history as a pioneer in the field since its launch in 1987. The key premise of Anthrozoös is to address the characteristics and consequences of interactions and relationships between people and non-human animals across areas as varied as anthropology, ethology, medicine, psychology, veterinary medicine and zoology. Articles therefore cover the full range of human–animal relations, from their treatment in the arts and humanities, through to behavioral, biological, social and health sciences.
