2. Psychotherapy is not a healing practice that can be used with nonhumans, the way modern medicine can as in veterinary medicine

Explanation

Psychotherapy is a form of therapy that specifically targets human mental health issues. It involves talking and discussing emotions, thoughts, and behaviors with a trained therapist. Since nonhumans, such as animals, do not possess the same cognitive abilities and language skills as humans, psychotherapy cannot be effectively applied to them. On the other hand, veterinary medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating physical ailments in animals. Therefore, psychotherapy cannot be used with nonhumans, making the statement "Psychotherapy is not a healing practice that can be used with nonhumans" true.
