This chapter explores the similarities and differences between mounted equine-assisted therapy (M-EAT) and grounded equine-assisted therapy (G-EAT). Differences in methodologies, rationale, and outcomes between M-EAT and G-EAT are examined, as well as the clinical implications of these distinctions. Special attention is given to risk and cost considerations, potential therapeutic value, and how communication styles between the horse and the client differ in mounted versus grounded contexts. This chapter concludes with a summary of questions for both mental health practitioners and clients who are interested in EAT to consider when deciding between taking a mounted or a grounded approach.

摘要

This chapter explores the similarities and differences between mounted equine-assisted therapy (M-EAT) and grounded equine-assisted therapy (G-EAT). Differences in methodologies, rationale, and outcomes between M-EAT and G-EAT are examined, as well as the clinical implications of these distinctions. Special attention is given to risk and cost considerations, potential therapeutic value, and how communication styles between the horse and the client differ in mounted versus grounded contexts. This chapter concludes with a summary of questions for both mental health practitioners and clients who are interested in EAT to consider when deciding between taking a mounted or a grounded approach.
