Abstract

This paper is an advanced assessment of Antwone Fisher as he is portrayed in the film

on duty and is ordered to see a therapist. This paper will explore Antwone's past and

present issues, look into client systems, bring out his strengths and explore and assess

his past and current behaviors. This paper will also integrate a Bio-Psycho-Social-

Spiritual assessment tool and Ego psychology.
