More than a hundred people have debated this weekend on the growing interest in animal-assisted intervention that is increasing every year in Western society. The 1st International Conference on Animal Therapeutic Intervention conducted at the Universitat Jaume I on 4 and 5 February 2017 was attended by speakers from Argentina, Uruguay, Mexico or the United States.

During the last years, the idea of using animals as resources that favour therapies linked to the improvement of health or learning has been scientifically consolidated. In fact, this meeting has been a meeting point on the scientific advances of this topic in Spain. Participants have presented their research on the benefits of assisted animal intervention for people, both in health and education.
