Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Childhood sexual abuse, which more commonly affects girls, is one of the strongest risk factors for BPD. Various studies show that physical and sexual abuse seem to be significant risk factors for BPD (Zanarini, Laudate, Frankenburg, Reich, & Fitzmaurice, 2011). Other studies cite parental loss and separation (Steele & Siever, 2010). Parental alcohol abuse, poverty, and a history of depression have not been linked to BPD.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
People with BPD have dichotomous thinking. Cognitively, they evaluate experiences, people, and objects in terms of mutually exclusive categories (e.g., good or bad, success or failure, trustworthy or deceitful), which results in extreme interpretations of events that would normally be viewed as including both positive and negative aspects. The statement about being a total failure is an example.
