| Summary, etc. | Recent research shows that animal-assisted interventions (AAIs) have a positive impact on the quality of life of older people with Alzheimer’s disease in institutional settings. However, none of these studies specifically address self-centered behaviors, which are difficult for both caregivers and family members to understand. The objective of this study, based on two clinical cases, was to examine the effects of an animal-assisted intervention on self-centered behaviors in older people with Alzheimer’s disease. Our results showed that dogs elicited verbal and non-verbal communication in these individuals in a distinct and complementary way, as already documented in the literature. In addition, by stimulating cognitive, motor, and affective abilities, and by motivating older people with dementia, the presence of a dog was able to reduce or even eliminate self-centered behaviors, even in the context of advanced Alzheimer’s disease. In practice, these findings may help shift caregivers’ and family members’ perceptions of patients, as the presence of a dog can lead them to behave more appropriately and cooperatively, and to engage in activities they would otherwise refuse. This shared caregiver–patient experience may support the development of targeted IAAs focusing on self-centered behaviors and sustained communication. |
