The topics you can study that are related to the subject of therapy can range from obesity and anatomy to mindfulness and the arts. Studying physical conditions such as obesity may help you better understand the psychological concepts around a therapy patient’s brain control of appetite and body weight, for example. Understanding anatomy can help you better understand therapy patients with chronic pain or disease. The related areas of mindfulness and art are often used within therapy as ways to help a patient focus, reflect, and explore attitudes, mental habits, and behaviors.
