Refer to the scenario below.
Following a series of shoplifting and minor assault incidents, Toby is undergoing rehabilitation. When asked about his shoplifting, Toby says, 'I only took things from a massive multi-national department store; they make millions in profit, so they won't even notice a few missing jackets.' His therapist also notes that Toby routinely interprets neutral facial expressions of people on the street as highly confrontational and threatening, which often leads to him reacting with physical aggression.
