Equine-assisted therapy
Abstract
Since 2008, the Samuel S. Stratton Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center in Albany, New York, has offered the Equine-Assisted Therapy Program for veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The first year, the program ran for 7 weeks, and in 2009 and 2010, we were able to run 12-week programs in the summers and a 9-week program in the fall of 2010. Also in 2010, veterans from the VA's Adaptive Sports Program enjoyed a 3-hour sampler afternoon. In 2011, we are holding two 10-week sessions. EQUINE-ASSISTED THERAPY PROGRAM Six veterans from various mental health programs are enrolled in each round of sessions. Each veteran identifies one or two goals on which he or she would like to focus; some of the more common goals are improving verbal and nonverbal communication, decreasing anxiety, handling frustration, building confidence and self-esteem, completing tasks, and becoming more aware of feelings. Arriving at the facility early in the afternoon, the veterans groom their horses and do groundwork, a training process for establishing communication with the horse, for about an hour and a half. Grooming is important for bonding and building a relationship with the horse and is one form of Game. Friendly Game is one of seven games played with the horses as a way to train the horse. The other six games establish the veteran as the leader and teach both the veteran and the horse skills that will be used when the veteran mounts the horse. These games invite the hor…

Other investigators have advocated for an individualized approach to selecting 'talkative volunteers' or less talkative volunteers as a match with each veteran's needs, which may enhance veterans' THR experience.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
