The Field Of Trans-Species Psychology

An overview of the relatively new field of trans-species psychology, which addresses the emotional, cognitive, and social characteristics that animals exhibit.

Trans-species psychology is based on the concept that animals are similar to humans emotionally, cognitively, and socially. This form of psychology is applied daily within animal sanctuaries, as caretakers balance physical and emotional needs.

This relatively new field of science allows humans to view animals as a culture, analyzing how the culture eats, lives, mourns, celebrates, and works. This perspective will allow researchers to understand how and why species have gone extinct and how to prevent further extinction.
