Assignment:

Anne is a 21-year-old Caucasian female. She lost her mom, after a long illness, when she was 14. She did not have any other family. Her stepfather passed her around from one family friend to another throughout her high school years. Now, in college, she has learned how to initially appear happy and positive to attract friends and partners, with whom she quickly becomes very attached. Her relationships are very intense and often end abruptly, which partners and friends attribute to her jealousy and "anger" when she does not get her way. Because these people tend to become overwhelmed by her, they withdraw from her, and she is again left alone. Anne also often engages in self-injury by cutting her forearm with sharp objects.

Please provide the following:

1. Provide an analysis of this case.

• List the client's main symptoms, diagnosis, and possible causes of the disorder.
• Provide any specific treatment options you would consider in working with Anne and how you would assess the efficacy of treatment.

2. Justify your decisions based on information from the textbook readings and any outside scholarly sources.
