The Use of Psychiatric Service Dogs in the Treatment of Veterans with PTSD
Abstract
The project is currently undergoing review by the human subjects review at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the Army (USAMRMC ORP HRPO). The materials were submitted to the Walter Reed committee in June, 2009, and we have responded to their comments. Dr. Stephenson is assisting us in preparing documents of the Army review committees. The Westat IRB has reviewed and approved the activities of the Westat team. In the meantime, the research team has had several opportunities to present the project in a variety of settings and have been provided opportunities to further develop the theory behind the concept of using service dogs to reduce the symptoms of PTSD among returning soldiers with severe cases of the disability.
