Answer to Question 1

C
Szasz argues that mental illness is a myth. He suggests that personal conduct is always rule following, strategic, and meaningful. Patterns or interpersonal and social relations may be regarded and analyzed as if they were games, the behaviors of the players being governed by explicit or tacit game rules.

Answer to Question 2

D
Four elements are necessary to prove liability for malpractice: duty, negligent performance, harm to the patient, and proximate cause. If the patient sustained no harm, no tort liability exists.
