Cover Story: Dog-assisted therapy (DAT) is an intervention that promotes psychological, physical, and social functioning in children and adults. This study explores the experiences of adults with intellectual disabilities who received DAT in mental healthcare. Conventional therapies do not adequately meet the needs of these patients. An experiential therapy like DAT that requires less emphasis on cognitive and verbal abilities may be suitable. Data were collected through interviews, a logbook and focus groups. The qualitative analyses revealed predominantly positive experiences, emphasizing physical contact, emotional support, and social engagement. The patients valued DAT’s experiential and non-intrusive approach, which fostered autonomy and personhood. Further research is needed to determine efficacy, cost-effectiveness and implementation strategies in clinical practice. View this paper
