Mitch (age 22) becomes highly aroused by the fantasy of humiliating and shaming a sexual partner during sexual activity. He imagines whipping his partner and treating her like a child. However, Mitch has never engaged in this behavior because the one time he proposed this fantasy to a past sexual partner, she was horrified and left the relationship. Mitch has not discussed this fantasy with his current partner, and in fact part of what arouses him is the thought of his partner saying ‘no’ and trying to escape. Despite this, Mitch does not want to jeopardize his relationship, though he is finding it harder to become sexually aroused without thinking of causing suffering to his partner during sex. What disorder does Mitch have?

Ever since she was young, Samantha (age 20) has feared being alone. Even as an adult now, when she is left alone she fears that this separation from others could be permanent, which is significantly distressing because Samantha believes that she is unable to care for herself. She spends a lot of time feeling anxious that she will not have others to rely on to help her navigate through life. As a result, she tries to make sure that her friends and family members will not abandon her or leave the relationship, even sometimes offering to do homework or housework to show her benefit to others. However, even when Samantha offers to do these tasks for others, she requires a lot of guidance to be sure that she is doing them correctly. She similarly frequently asks for the advice of others to be sure that she is making appropriate and sound decisions, stemming from her feelings that she is incapable of making good decisions on her own. Although these difficulties span across all of her relationships, Samantha has never engaged in any other abnormal behaviors. What is the best diagnosis for Samantha?

Savannah (age 25) has had difficulty regulating her emotions since she was young. She is quick to experience negative emotions, particularly anger and depression. During these times, she may impulsively lash out and scream at or even physically assault others. Sometimes when Savannah is particularly dysregulated, she will become suspicious and paranoid that her friends are deceiving her or trying to harm her in some way.  As a result, Savannah’s relationships do not tend to last and she experiences significant interpersonal problems. However, after damaging her relationship with others, Savannah will do anything she can to make amends and retain the relationship, even impulsively splurging on large and expensive gifts. Furthermore, Savannah is also quick to alter her interests, goals, and values. This is not because she is trying to fit in with others, but more because she doesn’t have a stable sense of who she really is or wants to be as a person. Savannah has never had any other symptoms of abnormal functioning. What disorder does Savannah have?
