Gestalt Equine Psychotherapy.

Kirby, Meggin
- Abstract
From the ground of Gestalt therapy and the field of Equine Facilitated or Assisted Psychotherapy emerged Gestalt Equine Psychotherapy (GEP). This article introduces the reader to the relatively new therapeutic approach of Gestalt Equine Psychotherapy. As far as the author is aware, there are two centres or programs offering Gestalt Equine Psychotherapy in the world - the Gestalt Equine Institute of the Rockies (GEIR) and Gestalt Equine Psychotherapy Australia (GEPA). This article begins with my personal experience with horses, and is followed by an introduction to GEP, the process of GEP, and the role of the therapist in GEP. Some brief cases are offered to give a taste of what the work may look like. Finally, some limitations to this approach are noted.
