Drawing on the expertise of leading creative arts therapists from
around the world, this book provides a comprehensive examination of
the role of the creative arts in the treatment of clients with
eating disorders (EDs). The book explores how art, dance and
movement, drama, music, and poetry therapies have fostered
insights, growth, and recovery for patients across ED diagnoses
(anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and
compulsive overeating disorder), and comorbid diagnoses. It
illustrates how each creative arts modality is implemented in the
ED treatment process and covers a variety of treatment levels
(residential, inpatient, intensive outpatient and outpatient). Each
chapter is enriched with case illustrations to provide a greater
depth of understanding of how the methods are used in clinical
practice. This book is an incomparable overview of the value and
diverse uses of the creative arts in the treatment of EDs, and it
will be of interest to all arts therapists, psychodrama therapists,
family therapists, as well as students of these disciplines.

The definitive guide to individualized equine management based on
the horse's personality and body type. Dr. Ina Goesmeier leads the
horse world in her area of specialization. A classically trained
veterinarian, she supports her Western medical practice with
knowledge gained through the study of Traditional Chinese Medicine
(TCM). This handbook provides a basic introduction to the guiding
principle of determining a horse's type before making decisions
about handling, care, training, or treatment. According to TCM
there are five horse types, assignments that are based not only on
the horse's behavior, but on his build and body conformation, as
well as diagnosis of his tongue and pulse. By determing the horse's
type, you learn: How to understand and partner with each individual
equine in the best ways possible. Appropriate choices related to
training and handling techniques. Insight related to how a horse
travels and what can keep him comfortable and healthy on the road.
Why one horse learns quickly, why one always needs more rest, why
another needs to be motivated with variety, and why some are fine
alone while others need a friend at their side. A TCM type
description helps the horse owner and rider assess the horse more
accurately, promote the horse's training and well-being in a
targeted manner, and troubleshoot existing and potential
rideability problems. This book shares 11 case studies of horse
types "in harmony" and "in disharmony" to demonstrate how the five
horse types can be applied on day-to-day basis as well when
treatment for injury or illness is necessary. Basic instructions
for DIY acupressure and herbal therapy for health maintenance over
the long term are also included.

Cherry Hill, America's most trusted equine expert, teams up with
Richard Klimesh, a professional farrier and her frequent writing
partner, to address the twin topics of hoof care and horseshoeing.
Proper hoof care is one of the most important contributors to a
horse's health and well-being. Without sound, well-maintained
hooves, an otherwise healthy horse can become lethargic, grouchy,
and sullen. With healthy hooves, a horse's noble personality
shines.
"Horse Hoof Care" covers what every horse owner needs to know
about this critical key to a horse's overall health and
performance. Hill and Klimesh explain the anatomy of the hoof, the
role of the farrier, and all the principles of good care and
maintenance. They also address the ongoing debate on whether or not
to shoe and how to proceed with either choice. From addressing gait
problems to training a horse for shoeing, and from feeding a
balanced diet to performing daily hoof checks, if it affects horse
foot health, it's covered here.
As with many aspects of horse care, daily routines and consistent
treatment can prevent future problems, but even with the best care,
horses may develop foot ailments. Readers will find comprehensive
coverage of lost shoes, hoof cracks, thrush, clubfoot, contracted
heels, and many other common problems, along with advice on
treatment. A complete chapter on issues that require a veterinarian
tells readers exactly what to look for and how to proceed.
"Horse Hoof Care" is the fifth book in Cherry Hill's Horsekeeping
Skills Library, dedicated to giving horse owners the information
they need to care for horses in every situation.
