Assessing the Human-Animal Bond: A Compendium of Actual Measures (New Directions in the Human-Animal Bond)
“This book gathers, in one place, those measures presently used to study the human-companion animal bond.  The measures chosen for inclusion are the most heavily used by researchers, as well as measured that appear to be innovative or relate to the different aspects of the human-companion animal relationship.  The measures cover the human-animal bond principally by attachment, but also by fear, abuse, or neglect.David C.
