The Psychology of Notorious Celebrity Deaths


Book Description

Celebrity deaths grab the world's attention with curiosity and speculation, especially untimely deaths. What caused the premature death? What led up to it? Was it natural, murder, or self-initiated? Were drugs or alcohol involved? The science of personality theory has advanced dramatically in recent years, shedding new light on the inner working of those on the world stage, who are perceived as having perfect lives. In this book, professional counselor Todd Grande applies personality theory to over a dozen of the most notorious celebrity deaths in modern history, unraveling the mystery surrounding the events that led up to their deaths. Dr. Grande delves into the thought processes, behaviors, and emotions of these celebrities, analyzing common personality traits as well as environmental factors such as childhood stressors and even certain kinds of injury. Empirically supported principles create a framework that offers new insight into why people do what they do, how their lives ended tragically, and how it could have been different.
