Abstract

|
The therapy through the animal medium uses live animals as a part of psychological treatment to improve emotional, social and cognitive function of human. There are various animals available such as horses, dos, cats and hamsters to prompt the effect of this treatment, but horses and dogs are the most appropriate. As we can rarely find the studies that have performed the psychotherapy by using horses, I’d like to survey the benefit of the psychotherapy through horses and the therapeutic activities by EFP(Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy) program. In this study, we observed the counseling process that have cooperated with horses, and dynamic psychotherapy in each session. Psychotherapy in a session has made observation-The existential experience, The unique experience of being in relationship with the horse, The client’s therapeutic relationship with the clinician, Preverbal/primitive experiences and preoedipal focus, Therapeutic use of metaphor and work at the oedipal level, Nonverbal experience in relation to communication with the horse-of how to result in the change of activities and the insight on the clients.
