CASE STUDY TEMPLATES
Case studies provide "a detailed and rich story" (Patton, 2015, p. 259) focused on an
event, person, or other phenomena of interest. As the writer of a case, you can use a
variety of methods and sources of data to write your case. For example, journal notes,
observations, recording of an intuitive interspecies communication (IIC) session,
interviews, photographs and so forth. We have provided a set of guiding questions
that can support you in sketching out key elements that are important to highlight for
cases involving IIC.
The templates below are designed to provide guidelines for writing case studies on
IIC in various contexts (e.g. veterinary medicine, wildlife, service animals, etc.).
The notes below apply to all cases.
Consent and Confidentiality: As you write your case, do not provide any identifiable
information about any third-party participants (others who were involved in the study)
unless you have explicit permission to do so. It is wise to keep a written copy of any
permission offered. Where you do not have consent, you will need to carefully
consider whether it is appropriate to share the case, and if you do so, may need to
change some information (e.g. locations, species of animal) to maintain this
confidentiality. The ethical duty of confidentiality includes obligations to protect
information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Fulfilling the ethical duty of
confidentiality is essential to the trust relationship between researcher and
participant, and to the integrity of the research project. For more information, consult
the Canadian guidelines at: (TCPS 2: Chapter 5)
Length: Depending on the purpose details provided, and the depth of reflections, a
case study often averages around 1000 words. They can, however, be much longer
and more detailed.
A Work in Process: These templates are drafts that we are developing for future IIC
case study research. We welcome feedback and suggestions at any time! Email:

COMPANION ANIMAL CONTEXT
About you:
? First name
? Last name
? # of years practicing animal communication
? Speciality by animal (if applicable)
? Speciality by context (e.g. behaviour, health, end of life, in spirit, etc.)
Permissions/Confidentiality:
When you submit, you will be asked to indicate whether you:
? Acquired permission to share information that may identify individuals other
than yourself OR

changing place names, and in some cases, changing the gender or species of
animal(s) involved).
Also:
? Please indicate which of the above you have done, either in the introductory
section of the case, or in a footnote.
About the Case:
? How did you become involved in the case and what led up to it?
o What was your role/objective in the case?
o Who invited you (i.e. animal's guardian, trainer, veterinary professional)?
o Who all received the finding results (i.e. client only, client and vet, etc.)?
? Animal description (i.e. species, breed, age, rescued, adopted, time living with
client)
? History of the concern
o Describe the behavioral/medical history and current concerns
o May also include client's concerns, especially if the animals is in spirit
? When did this case happen? (If you remember, include the moth and/or year
? What data are you using to write your case? For example: Are you writing from
memory? Were your details documented at the time in journal notes,
transcripts, recordings, conversations, etc.? Include a sentence or more to
describe where the information came from.
? Geographical location

o Where was the animal's physical location during the time of the
communication?
o Where was your physical location during the time of the communication.
? What did you do (be as detailed as possible)?
o How did you interact with the client or other involved parties?
o How did you interact with the animal?
How did you obtain consent from the animal?
Did you communicate remotely or in person (i.e. video call, email,
phone, etc.)?
How did the animal share information (i.e physical sensations,
images, a knowing, etc.)?
Details about how you conducted the communication (i.e. Did
you ask specific questions and/or did you structure those
questions in a particular way?)
What did you do with the information you received?
? The outcome(s) of the case (if known), including unintended consequences
(positive, negative, neutral) for the animal, client, or other individuals involved
? Relevant timelines that may help the audience understand the timing of events
o Consider including a timeline
o Were the communications completed in one session or multiple session
over time?
? Did you use any particular ethical codes during this case? Describe them and
how they affected your practice and interactions with others involved.
? Other details you feel that are particularly relevant.
Discussion/Implications:
? Were there any lessons learned?
? Did you have any key takeaways? We encourage you to discuss challenges,
tricky spots, failures and successes - as these all help us learn.
? How might this case be relevant to ACs who are working with veterinary
professionals?
? How might this case be relevant to others working in different contexts or fields
(for example, animal care providers)?
