For Sue Painter, L.M.T., author of "Seeing Through the Body," attending cadaver lab has helped her to learn to see human anatomy in 3-D but also to appreciate the incredible complexity and diversity of form contained within the human body. Painter describes possible concerns therapists might experience when considering taking dissection workshop. Painter quotes a therapist as saying, "There is a certain amount of apprehension...I was not sure how I would react to having a dead body, a real person, right in front of me. I'd heard that the smell could be strong. But I talked to others who had done cadaver work and decided the opportunity was worth trying it." These concerns are addressed further in a sidebar entitled "7 Suggestions for Making the Most of a Dissection Workshop." Painter describes how attending a dissection workshop has improved her practice and her appreciation of the human body.
