Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
The basis for somatoform disorders is often unclear and complicated. Most clinicians advocate for a multidimensional causal model encompassing a complex interplay of neurobiological, psychological, and familial factors.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Affected clients do not intentionally cause and have no conscious or voluntary control over their symptoms. Lack of voluntary control is in contrast to factitious disorder and malingering. In factitious disorder, clients deliberately make up or inflict symptoms.
