Brainstorming and Concept Mapping
Brainstorming is a way to approach a topic, and one increasingly taught in college courses
It’s basis is an open-ended approach to finding your way through a topic

Brainstorming
Brainstorming is more informal than a Concept Map (we see that in a minute) but more ordered than a group talking:

Brainstorming
Brainstorming works by focusing on a problem, and then deliberately coming up with as many solutions as possible and by pushing the ideas as far as possible.
A reason it is so effective is that the brainstormers not only come up with new ideas in a session, but gain from associations with other people's ideas by developing and refining them.

Begin with Single Topic

Keep Developing Your Map
Brainstorm ideas or issues or concepts related to "pet therapy" and add them to the map:
Now add another layer of ideas related to these

Keep adding keywords until you have relevant keywords around each of your subtopics:

Concept Maps
A concept map presents the relationships among a set of connected concepts and ideas.
It is a tangible way to display how your mind sees a particular topic. By constructing a concept map, you reflect on what you know and what you don't know.

Often by the time you get to the Concept Map, you have gone through some initial brainstorming, and your ideas have turned into keywords or subtopics, and you have a more solid idea of how these relate to each other:
