"This book will help licensed professional counselors incorporate
Equine Assisted Counseling (EAC) into their practices, even those
who have no prior experience working with horses. It provides a
strong research foundation for understanding the efficacy of equine
assisted interventions and the potentially powerful impact that a
horse can have in creating a new counseling dynamic. Chapters
address using horses to help clients dealing with various traumas
and abuse, anxiety, depression, atypical behaviors, and social
skills and communication issues. One chapter is written by the
internationally renowned "horse whisperer" Pat Parilli and offers a
look at EAC from the horse's point of view and describes the
process of developing a relationship with the horse in a positive,
safe, and respectful manner, an important topic to ensure the
well-being of the horse throughout a session. Counselors will find
this a valuable resource for understanding and utilizing EAC as a
new resource in their own practices, as will students seeking to
learn about this innovative approach"--Provided by publisher.
