A young adult from a well-off family is a junior in college and does not have a job besides attending school. They're in good health without known health conditions. The patient is considered the ringleader of the meanest clique in their school, which focuses attention on them. When they feel the attention is waning, they become anxious and seek affirmation from others by acting inappropriately suggestive. They have had a series of "best friends," but the relationships usually end in drama.
The patient is preoccupied with their appearance, continuously complaining that they're too fat or not attractive enough. They look to others to confirm that they're attractive and stylish. They do not have a regular drinking problem or drug abuse issue because they're concerned about tarnishing their reputation. They spend hours on the internet purchasing clothing and accessories.
Which of the following psychotherapies is the treatment of choice for this patient?
