Abstract
Objective: It is necessary that professionals in psychology seek treatment alternatives that make more effective the various interventions with established traditional or alternative models to help improve the effectiveness of therapeutic treatment. The Animal Assisted Therapy is directed by health care providers or humans within the scope of their profession. This originates with the psychiatrist Boris Levison, who began building the foundation of the TAA. Among the research that has been conducted Engleman (2013) measured the effect that could have the integration of TAA in patients with pain under palliative treatment. Conclusions: In addition, in the field of psychotherapy TAA is intended as a supplement to different models. It is also important to emphasize that the TAA will maintain the structure of any process of psychotherapy, where there will be a psychotherapeutic alliance process, identifying problems to be treated and set goals.
