Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: The client who states, I cut myself because you are leaving me reflects impulsive behavior that is commonly associated with borderline personality disorder. Repetitive, self-mutilating behaviors are common in clients diagnosed with borderline personality disorders that result from feelings of abandonment following separation from significant others.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: The goal of treatment for clients diagnosed with personality disorders should be to reduce inflexibility of personality traits that interfere with functioning and relationships. Personality disorders are often difficult and, in some cases, seem impossible to treat. There are no psychotropic medications approved specifically for the treatment of personality disorders.
