An Introduction to the DiaDog Approach
"This article presents the 'DiaDog' approach an integrative model for canine-assisted therapy, developed and continuously evolving within my clinical and research work. The purpose of this article is to outline the principles of the approach, its underlying theoretical assumptions, and its ethical and practical implications for therapists working with dogs. Accordingly, the first part will focus on establishing the philosophical and ethico-clinical foundation of DiaDog, serving as a basis for understanding its implementation within the therapeutic space."

The Analytic Fourth: A New Framework for Canine-Assisted Therapy
"This article is a direct continuation of the introductory paper on the DiaDog approach, in which the patient's dog forms an inseparable part of the therapeutic process. Its purpose is to clarify the advantage of working specifically with the patient's own dog, as opposed to the common practice of working with the therapist's dog. The patient's dog — which I refer to as the 'Analytic Fourth' - is present in the patient's life at all times. This fact offers a significant advantage in internalizing the therapeutic process, and as a result, may also contribute to achieving outcomes in a relatively shorter time."
