[MARMAM] New Critique of Dolphin-Assisted Therapy

[Lori Marino]

Dear Colleagues,

    This is to announce a new paper in the current issue of Anthrozoos 
entitled "Dolphin Assisted Therapy: More flawed data and more flawed 
conclusions" co-authored by myself and Scott Lilienfeld.  In this paper 
we review all of the peer-reviewed DAT studies that were published since 
our 1998 paper and come to the same conclusion that there is no 
scientific basis for claims made by proponents of DAT. 

    A pdf of the paper is attached.

    The journal website is:

    You may also go to the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society 
websites for a copy of the paper and further information and news on 
this current issue:

    Thank you.

Regards,

Lori Marino
