killer Aileen Wuornos, the attachment and life course theories can be applied. Ms. Wuornos was neglected and abused by her guardians multiple times, which led her to a life of criminal activity. She began with small-scale crimes at an early age and eventually escalated to murder. This paper explores how the attachment theory played a major part in the life (and death) of a serial killer and how many lives could have been saved had Aileen’s circumstances been different. This paper also explains how Aileen

In this paper, I will discuss the biographical history of the theory developers, key concepts of each theory, as well as each theorist’s view of human nature, the reason and development of conflict that the client experiences, the roles of the therapist and client in therapy, and the goals of each therapeutic process.

in-house systems still continue to be developed. This research employs symbolic interactionism as the informing theoretical perspective in an ethnography study of a large government authority in Singapore.
