The people who think psychiatrists are better for their child have a right to their opinion. Some think that because they are animals they can not understand their child; therefore, they should not be used. Psychiatrists can ask questions, reply to questions, and show emotion; whereas, horses cannot. Some do not think that is what they need, but on the other hand, that can sometimes be exactly what the child needs. They do not necessarily want someone to poke and prod them about why they do not talk. They just want to be around someone who will accept them for who they are, not for who they want them to be; that is where the horses come in.
I never thought about using animals to help hurt children. Good topic. Also it is very interesting, and psychiatrists might look at a child as just helpless person, however a animal won't discriminate a child's looks, etc.
