For thousands of years, man and wolf have been together as allies and companions. A natural instinct that bonds them still exists. Drawing on human interactions with wolves, a team of doctors came up with wolf therapy to work towards repairing the empathy and self-esteem deficits among young adults. The treatment is designed to ease depression, anxiety and stress among those in the rehabilitation programs. The progress they make builds their motivation to complete the program and reduces the risk of reverting back to old harmful habits.
