This could be of any genre, including crime, politics, entertainment, sports, etc. During the upcoming weeks, you will research available information on their life and explore this person’s personality by applying one theory you will learn about this semester. Consider how their personality developed and how it is being expressed in the context of the current event. Also consider whether there are any assessments or psychotherapy approaches that may be recommended to this individual based on your chosen theory.
