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: http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/berg/anthroz 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: http://www.wdcs.org/ or http://www.whales.org/ Thank you.
