Abstract

La terapia assistita con cavalli (EAP) è un nuovo trattamento promettente progettato per trattare una varietà di condizioni di salute mentale da livelli lievi a moderati, tuttavia sembra mancare di una solida metodologia psicologica teoretica. Il modello “Terapia di accettazione e di impegno nell'azione” (ACT) complimenta l'EAP, inquanto entrambi gli approcci incoraggiano i clienti a essere "presenti nel momento " e si concentrano sull'azione intenzionale (committed action). Pertanto, evidenzieremo l’ipotesi di come questi due trattamenti possono essere incorporati e allineati per creare un trattamento efficace per le condizioni di salute mentale basato sull'evidenza scientifica. Le discussioni sulle somiglianze riguarderanno il modo in cui ciascun modello può sovrapporsi l'un l'altro.
