Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Sullivan's theory explains that security operations are interpersonal relationship activities designed
to relieve anxiety. Because they are interpersonal in nature they can be observed. Option A: Defense
mechanisms are unconscious and automatic. Repression is entirely intrapsychic, but other
mechanisms result in observable behaviors. Option B: Frequent, continued use of many defense
mechanisms often results in reality distortion and interference with healthy adjustment and
emotional development. Occasional use of defense mechanisms is considered normal and does not
markedly interfere with development. Option D: Security operations are ego centered.

Answer to Question 2

C
Rationalization is being used to explain behavior and deny wrongdoing. Option B: The individual
who does not believe he or she has done anything wrong will not manifest anxiety, remorse, or guilt
about the act. Options A and D: The client's remarks cannot be assessed as charming, and lack of
trust and concern that others are determined to harm him are not shown.
