Not sure this belongs. All the best: RichFarmbrough, 08:29, 7 January 2015 (UTC).
Removed. At the very least needed re-writing and is so freighted with controversial implications that the basic message "having a cat around is nice" would be lost. At worst there is no evidence of therapeutic benefit anywhere near MEDRS. All the best: RichFarmbrough, 09:01, 7 January 2015 (UTC).

I'm moving a bit that was inserted by an anon IP and then removed, as I think it may be worth further research to see if better sourcing can salvage some of this:
Applying pet therapy to survivors of sexual assault can also reduce depression, anxiety, and other symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.[medical citation needed] Pet therapy promotes social interaction and is increasingly more accessible to those who already have pets. Survivors of sexual assault are less likely to be anxious and are comforted by the presence of a companion that is offered through pet therapy.[1] While there are other ways in which survivors of sexual assault can receive therapy, the application of pet therapy does have a certain degree of success in these situations. For example, pet therapy helps the counselor and survivor develop a positive alliance and a great sense of rapport more quickly.[1] As mentioned before, the presence of a pet or other animal helps survivors of sexual assault feel more comfortable in a therapy setting. The application of pet therapy in sexual assault cases has also contributed positively to survivors outside of counseling sessions.[1] The positive feelings that pet therapy induces during therapy sessions with sexual assault survivors will carry over with survivors outside of therapy. The increased comfort that having a companion builds will also help survivors remain more comfortable from day to day, which will lead to fast recovery.[2]
