In addition to considering how the theory might explain their personality, also discuss what treatment and/or assessments the theorist might recommend based on their presentation. Be sure to consider cultural background when formulating your conceptualization.

Ms. Hordler is a single, heterosexual, Hispanic female in her early thirties. She is the oldest child of four children and has a large extended family. She is a few years older than her next sibling and received a lot of attention from her parents, grandparents, and aunts and uncles. Everything was taken care of for her at home, and she had a hard time adjusting to school as a child because her teachers and classmates did not praise her like her family did. She observed most of the men in her family being the heads of the household on whom the women were dependent. She desired to be independent and a leader, and worked hard to get herself through college. She is successful in her career as a criminal lawyer in a big city where she beat several men to become partner at her firm. Others describe her as poised and smart, but aggressive in the courtroom. Despite her success, she feels depressed, lonely, insecure, and incompetent compared to others. She thought these feelings would dissipate once she got to the top of her career, but she states they are more intense than ever. Moreover, she would like to be in a romantic relationship. She reports she typically only goes on a couple of dates with men before they stop calling her.
