Some comments on context embodiment in zootherapy

Abstract

The Autidolfijn Project was undertaken in 1991 in Bruges, Belgium, to asses the effect of interactions with captive dolphins on learning in autistic children. The project lasted 4 years and ended with ambiguous results. Although one group of children did seem to gain learning benefits from working with the dolphins, difficulties arising from the experimental set-up itself seemed to play a role in how well the groups performed. The Autidolfijn project was intended as an experiment, but it was imperfectly controlled and consequently the data cannot be used to aswer directly the question of the therapeutic effect dolphins have on children with autism. Here the data generated by Autidolfijn are used as ethnographic data attached to a particular situation. We feel they can help us understand the difficulties involved in trying to assess experimentally the positive effects of animals on people (cf. Rowan, 1996 ; Marino and Lilienfeld, 1998 ; Nathanson, 1998).

Le projet Auti-dauphins s'est déroulé à Bruges, en Belgique, de 1991 à 1995. Il avait pour but d'évaluer les effets positifs d'interactions avec des dauphins sur l'apprentissage chez des enfants atteints d'autisme. Au bout de quatre années la recherche a débouché sur des résultats ambigüs. Bien qu'un groupe d'enfants semble avoir bénéficié des séances avec les dauphins, des difficultés émanant du dispositif expérimental lui-même ont probablement eu un impact sur les résultats. Les données en conséquence ne peuvent être utilisées pour démontrer l'impact des dauphins sur l'apprentissage. Mais en tant que données ethnographiques, décrivant une situation particulière, elles peuvent aider à comprendre les difficultés rencontrées par la plupart des auteurs qui tentent d'évaluer expérimentalement les effets positifs des animaux sur les humains. (cf. Rowan, 1996 ; Marino and Lilienfeld, 1998 ; Nathanson, 1998).
