Martha, a 17-year old college student, has had a difficult first semester in college. She
has felt overwhelmed by her class work, and is dreading finals week because she has
several important papers due at the end of the semester.

Last week, Martha began
experiencing a sharp pain in her right wrist, and she wondered if she might have
carpel tunnel syndrome. Martha went to the university health center but doctors did
not find any evidence of carpel tunnel syndrome. Even though Martha has not typed
in several days, the pain has worsened to the point where she is unable to move her
wrist or hand. Martha may have:
a. Somatization disorder
b. Conversion disorder
c. Factitious disorder by proxy
d. Enuresis
e. Encopresis
