Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Depersonalization disorder is characterized by a recurring or persistent feeling that one is detached from one's own thinking. Affected clients feel that they are outside their mind or body, much like an observer.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
All humans have the capacity to dissociate. Acts of daydreaming or amnestic episodes constitute common types of dissociation. In some cultures, voluntary experiences of trance or meditation are accepted practices and should not be considered a psychiatric disorder.
