Based on over a decade of sustained longitudinal research with a broad range of different user groups, Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy and Coaching: An Evidence-Based Framework is an essential guide which offers both theoretical foundations and practical models for working with horses in psychotherapy and coaching.

As a psychiatrist and psychotherapist I have seen first hand the power of equine-assisted psychotherapy on the patients in my care. The field is still poorly understood within wider mental health provision, and this book helpfully addresses this gap. The author introduces the reader to differing ways in which horses may be usefully involved in addressing problems of communication, relationships, addiction, challenging behaviour and other difficulties facing people presenting with mental health problems. I strongly recommend this book to anyone working in mental health or with an interest in training in this field.
The sections on working with alcohol dependent prisoners and bullying contain practical information that equine therapists can use.
This is a brilliant book for psychotherapists who may like horses but have never yet considered the role they can play in their profession; and it’s a book for animal and horse lovers who knew that relationships with these creatures were therapeutic but had never quite found the words to express it.
