Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The key is the only fully accurate statement. Somatic system disorders are not under voluntary control and are not culture bound.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Questioning the evidence is a cognitive restructuring technique. Identifying causes other than the feared disease can be helpful in changing distorted perceptions. Distraction by changing the subject will not be effective.
