You need to use the text, the lectures and any readings associated with your sub-topic.
For example, if you have chosen Self and Identity/ Self-esteem you will need to use the readings on narcissism in the workbook. All the readings you need are in the workbooks. Not all sub-topics have readings.
If you are unsure have a look in the workbook, readings are associated with activities.
