Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The dependent person must rely on others to make decisions and assume responsibility of major areas of his or her life. Low self-esteem and exaggeration are seen in avoidant person-ality disorder. Attention seeking is seen in narcissistic personality disorder.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Symptoms suggesting an avoidant personality disorder include fear of rejection, avoidance of relationships, and censorship of expression of thoughts and feelings because of fear of a neg-ative reaction. Borderline personality disorder presents with unstable interpersonal relation-ships, labile affect, and complaints of emptiness. Patients with histrionic personality disorders are overly dramatic, manipulative, and attention-seeking. Patients with schizoid personality disorder are indifferent to and lack concern for interpersonal contacts.
