Myra F Taylor, Mary Edwards et al.ARTICLEAnthrozoös2013Cited by: 7References: 46

In comparison, however, relatively little empirical research has been conducted into the use of service or emotional support dogs for people with psychiatric disabilities (e. g., PTSD, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder and schizophrenia).

Donna Stambulich, Julie Ann Pooley et al.ARTICLEMarriage & Family Review2012Cited by: 1References: 32
One in three Australian marriages end in divorce, and over half of such divorces involve children. Research indicates that men tend to repartner within 1 to 2 years of a divorce and women within 3 to 5 years. A significant issue for repartnered men is the provision of financial support for children from both their first and second families. Although only 6% of all Australian first family children spend near/equal time (shared care) after divorce …
