Rezensionen

This edition comprehensively summarizes the vast amount of knowledge about the animal mind that has accumulated. It also reviews the often-forgotten relationship between mental and physical health, providing an overview of the literature on the physiologic, environmental, and genetic influences that explain that relationship. Of particular interest to the members of the veterinary profession is how this edition describes the effects that positive and negative emotions have on animal health. Veterinarians are encouraged to consider both the mental and physical health of their patients.

Readers who were fascinated by the first edition of this book will find the second edition to be a well-documented update and may be surprised at the amount of new information focused on the mental well-being of animals. Those who did not read the first edition will experience an interesting, well-written, and well-referenced book on the relevance of the mental health of animals to their well-being. This book will be of interest to all those who interact or work with animals, including veterinarians.
