Thanks James, have taken your advice and adjusted my headings:) Verity Foster-Greenwood (discuss • contribs) 09:22, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

AAT
Hey Verity! Just a suggestion, it may be more beneficial for you to have a section to talk about what AAT actually is, rather then just a description. That way everyone understands exactly what AAT is and maybe some practical examples to avoid any confusion? Just a thought. Thanks! --U3068359 (discuss • contribs) 03:24, 22 October 2013 (UTC)u3068359

HI, thank you! I was thinking of doing that as well, makes more sense. Just had it there for a starting point for others to read:) Verity Foster-Greenwood (discuss • contribs) 02:43, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Just to note on the 27th and the 28th of October, I forgot to log in while editing my book chapter; it will show 137.92.215.85 and 137.92.209.68 when it should show my name. Verity Foster-Greenwood (discuss • contribs) 05:18, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Re; Theories
Hi Verity,

We're doing similar topics, so I've been finding a lot of information that might be useful in your topic rather than mine. In particular just finished reading an article which has a good section on the theories behind AAT or the animal human bond. They suggests three theories; Social Role Theory, Exchange Theory and Lifespan Development Theory, got the article from Ebsco its called:

"The Human-Animal Bond; Implications for Practice" Netting, F.E., Wilson, C.C., & New, J.C.

Hi Verity, I was looking around for some articles and found this and thought this would be of some help to you. I hope it does. Also your page is looking really good so far. http://web.ebscohost.com.ezproxy1.canberra.edu.au/ehost/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?sid=e737f9d4-876a-4d1b-bc9e-de7936670874%40sessionmgr13&vid=8&hid=21 Paigey92 (discuss • contribs) 05:40, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Belle that would be great! my emails v.f-g@hotmail.com:) I cant find it dont know what ive done haha,so far I've only found work that says there isnt specific theory to explain AAT yet- so getting confused with what to do. Thanks again:)

Done!! :) yeah i found the same, very difficult to find theories relating to the research, i've ended up with attachment theory, social learning theory and some developmental stuff but yes, not much is specific too AAA/AAT!! Belle Hughes (discuss • contribs) 01:30, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi, there have been cases that they have used animal as therapy to treat anger management and i think that might be something interesting to look into for your topic. I have also seen recently on a news article that ANU used puppies to reduce stress during exam times: http://www.news.com.au/business/your-business/stress-relief-puppies-procrastination-classes-for-pressured-uni-students/story-fn9evb64-1226621872291 just some food for thought.Thosecows (discuss • contribs) 04:01, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

Attachment theory and AAT
Hey, Also doing animals and I thought of this article that I had that might be of some use to you and your theories, if you don't have it already. The article proposes a model of AAT based on the attachment theory. Hope it helps you to build on what you have.

 * 1) Excellent use of wiki links
 * 2) Spelling and grammar - numerous errors - see examples of what to fix in the edit history, including when to use that/who
 * 3) Two useful case studies are provided
 * 4) Somewhat limited of use images. Images used in the main body should be given captions.
