How Change Happens in Equine-Assisted Interventions: A Theory of Horses, Humans, and Psychotherapy

30,00 

How Change Happens in Equine-Assisted Interventions gives clinicians and researchers an intervention theory on the mechanisms of change during psychotherapy and other interventions that incorporate horses. Chapters introduce the concept of intervention theory, present a theory of the problem (what the client comes with), theories explaining the intervention (what is done during a session), and theories of change (what happens in the mind of a client), with each theory’s function described. Using an autoethnographic approach, the authors describe, deconstruct, and analyze personal experiences as clients during an equine-assisted intervention.  Researchers will have an explanatory theory from which to draw testable hypotheses when studying interventions incorporating horses.
