Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The DSM-IV-TR description of depersonalization disorder states that it involves a persistent or
recurrent experience of feeling detached from and outside one's mental processes or body. Although
reality testing is intact, the experience causes significant impairment in social or occupational
functioning and distress to the individual. Option B: Body dysmorphic disorder involves
preoccupation with a body part the individual believes to be distorted. Option C: Dissociative
amnesia involves memory loss. Option D: Hypochondriasis involves interpretation of body
sensations as symptomatic of a serious illness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Interpersonal psychotherapy returned the client to his former level of functioning by helping him
come to terms with the loss of friends and guilt over being a survivor. Option A: Milieu therapy
refers to environmental therapy. Option B: Psychoanalysis would call for a long period of
exploration of unconscious material. Option 3C: Behavior modification would focus on changing a
behavior rather than helping the client understand what is going on in his life.
