La personne âgée et son animal explores the emotional and psychological bond between elderly individuals and their pets, emphasizing how this relationship supports well-being and continuity in later life. Written by Jean-Luc Vuillemenot, the book draws on clinical observations and social work perspectives to argue for the integration of animal companionship into care strategies for aging populations. It addresses challenges such as housing restrictions, loss, and institutional barriers that threaten this bond, while offering practical guidance for caregivers and professionals. The work advocates for a more holistic approach to elder care that recognizes the therapeutic value of human-animal connections.
