Cães terapeutas: um doc sobre a afetividade como ferramenta de superação

Abstract

This work is an experimental project report on documentary, humanized interview, affection and Animal Assisted Intervention held in Rio Grande do Norte, specifically, in the city of Natal. It presents a research that explains the potential of audiovisual as a product for the journalist to expose a fact, using elements of literary journalism to attract public attention. Communication theorists Monica Martinez, Luiz Carlos Lucena, Mauro Wolf and Nilson Lage were used to support this proposal, in addition to the author of documentary production: Bill Nichols. To explain the benefits of the theme, Nise da Silveira made great contributions with her discovery of dogs as co-therapists. The objective of the documentary is to present in a sensitive, creative and affective way the projects carried out in the state, in addition to explaining what is Animal Assisted Education (EAA) and Animal Assisted Therapy (TAA). The documentary is available at: https://youtu.be/OCgMvAi2loo. Within the methodological process, bibliographic research, qualitative, descriptive and explanatory research, of an exploratory and practical nature, was used.
