Answer to Question 1

C
A lack of internal controls leads to manipulative behaviors such as lying, cheating, conning, and
flattering. To protect the rights of others, external controls must be consistently maintained until the
client is able to behave appropriately.

behaviors of the client. Option D: A psychodynamic formulation would focus on uncovering
