Question

You are a psychologist treating a new patient for relationship problems - this patient is a popular singer named Ariana Grande who reports that she cannot seem to keep a relationship with one person for very long. On the first session, Ariana describes how much she values your work with her and thinks that you "are the solution to all her problems" and writes a song dedicated to how great your therapeutic relationship is titled "Break Up with your Girlfriend, I'm Bored." She then asks if you would like to meet her for a drink after your session. When you politely decline, she storms out of the office in a rage and calls you a "fraud" and a "worthless person" and writes a new song called "Thank U, Next" about the worst relationship she's ever had.

a. What is the likely best diagnosis for Ariana?

b. Based on the research, what treatment do you recommend for her and why?
