Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy and Coaching: A Proprietary Model

Published by Routledge.

This landmark text provides detailed scientific evidence for the effectiveness of equine- assisted therapeutic and coaching programmes. Widely regarded as the benchmark reference in the field, it is essential reading for clinicians, researchers, and practitioners working at the intersection of animal-assisted practice and psychological therapy. It sets out, with rigour and clarity, the theoretical foundations and practical application of a model that has been developed and refined over more than twenty years of clinical work.


 

Peer-Reviewed Research

With over 200 published and peer-reviewed journal articles, Professor Liefooghe’s academic output is both extensive and wide-ranging. His research addresses some of the most pressing questions in organisational and occupational psychology, including:

  • A defining area of his career. He organised the first international academic conference on workplace bullying in London, and has produced foundational research into its individual and organisational dimensions.

  • The unspoken expectations and obligations that govern working relationships, and what happens when they are broken or renegotiated.

  • The psychological dynamics of authority, authenticity, and relational trust in organisational settings.

  • How individuals navigate transitions, find purpose, and develop over the course of a working life.

  • The psychology of how organisations choose their people, and what that reveals about organisational culture.

  • How learning takes hold, and how organisations can build genuine capability rather than compliance.
