PTSD: Horses as the Key to Healing?

The video gives a detailed insight into the study on the effectiveness of various horse-assisted therapy methods. The study is aimed at soldiers with operational injuries such as PTSD, depression or other psychosomatic symptoms. For many years the Bundeswehr has been looking for a solution to close a therapeutic gap between civilians and soldiers. This gap in effectiveness of classical psychotherapy has been proven in all western armies. The therapy successes in connection with horses are very great in the USA. So far, however, there are no scientifically reliable figures. Therefore, a team from the Bundeswehr Hospital has set up a test program and checks the equine therapies openly and neutrally for their actual effectiveness. In addition to the inspector of the medical service, Chief Staff Officer Dr. Baumgärtner, also a troop psychologist, the study team and a proband have their say. The participating riding stables, test equipment and lots of horses are shown. I am deeply impressed by the professional manner in which this study is carried out.
