Equine therapy in the management of teenagers with anorexia nervosa: a qualitative study
Equine-assisted therapy was found to provide bodily, emotional, and relational therapeutic benefits in anorexia nervosa. The setting, place, and function of the equine therapist, the participants' previous experience with horses, and the interaction with other care areas seem to be essential to ensure therapeutic benefit. Level of Evidence Level III.
