ORIGINAL EQUINE ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY IN A SOUTH AFRICAN FORENSIC SETTING: A DESCRIPTIVE REPORT Marc Roffey a , Sarah Garland b , Fiona C. Bromfield c , Nafisa Abdulla d , Rowdah Hawtrey e , Theoca Moodley f , Noeline Nune g a,d,e,f,g Valkenberg Hospital b,c The Equinox Trust ABSTRACT Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) is gaining much popularity as an intervention for a range of mental health problems. Although evidence for its efficacy has to date been low, this may largely be due to poorly conducted research. This article examines the evidence for EAP, and the indications for its use. It also explores its theoretical foundations and discusses an EAP project that has been conducted for four years at Valkenberg Hospital’s Forensic Mental Health Unit. The gracefulness, strength and agility of horses have long enthralled the human imagination, and the worlds of story-telling, myth and legend are richly populated with them. Although amongst the most beloved of domesticated animals, for millennia horses have been used as ‘beasts of burden’, and it has only been since the later years of the twentieth century that the therapeutic potential of working with horses has been formulated, explored, and researched. This article provides an overview of the discipline of equine assisted psychotherapy (EAP), which is emerging globally as an increasingly popular intervention for a range of mental health problems. It also describes an EAP project, now in its fourth year, which has been conducted at the forensic unit at Valkenberg Psychiatric Hospital, Cape Town. ANIMAL ASSISTED THERAPY By way of introduction, EAP can be understood within the larger construct of animal assisted therapy (AAT). Many people, especially pet-owners and animal-lovers, have an intuitive understanding of the potential benefits of being in the presence of, and interacting with, domesticated animals. AAT is the intentional inclusion of an animal into a therapeutic setting or intervention. Probably the best-known example is the therapy or service dog that is often used by people with physical disabilities. Other animals that are used in AAT include cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, horses and birds, and typical settings include nursing, rehabilitation and elderly care facilities, hospices, correctional facilities, psychiatric and paediatric wards, homeless shelters and, on occasion, disaster scenes. 1 SOUTH AFRICAN PSYCHIATRY ISSUE 17 2018 * 7
