Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The DSM-IV-TR description of depersonalization disorder states that it involves a persistent or
recurrent experience of feeling detached from and outside one's mental processes or body. Although
reality testing is intact, the experience causes significant impairment in social or occupational
functioning and distress to the individual. Option B: Body dysmorphic disorder involves
preoccupation with a body part the individual believes to be distorted. Option C: Dissociative
amnesia involves memory loss. Option D: Hypochondriasis involves interpretation of body
sensations as symptomatic of a serious illness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Interpersonal psychotherapy returned the client to his former level of functioning by helping him
come to terms with the loss of friends and guilt over being a survivor. Option A: Milieu therapy
refers to environmental therapy. Option B: Psychoanalysis would call for a long period of
exploration of unconscious material. Option 3C: Behavior modification would focus on changing a
behavior rather than helping the client understand what is going on in his life.

These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
