Answer to Question 1

4
Many somatic illnesses are based in cultural or spiritual beliefs.

Answer to Question 2

A
Minimizing one's drinking is a form of denial of alcoholism. The patient is more than a social drinker. Projection involves blaming another for one's faults or problems. Rationalization involves making excuses. Introjection involves incorporating a quality of another person or group into one's own personality.
