Анотація

У статті розглянуто теоретичні засади залучення тварин до соціально-психологічного супроводу людей похилого віку в закладах інтернатного типу. Проаналізовано основні теорії, які пояснюють вплив методу людино-тваринної взаємодії на емоційний стан людей, та можливість залучати тварин до різних форм соціально-психологічної роботи. Опрацьовано останні дослідження щодо залучення тварин до навчальної та терапевтичної роботи з особами похилого віку в закладах інтернатного типу. Зроблено висновок, що серед проаналізованих теорій, які пояснюють вплив людино-тваринної взаємодії на емоційний стан людей, найбільш обґрунтованою є фізіологічна теорія, згідно з якою мозок людини під час такої взаємодії виділяє низку нейромедіаторів, які породжують приємні емоційні переживання.
