Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
According to the learning theory, a person learns to produce a physiologic response (somatization) to achieve a reward, attention, or some other reinforcement. This process is unconscious rather than conscious. Learning theory does not emphasize the roles of family modeling, and a neuroendocrine etiology would rule out a diagnosis of somatoform disorder

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Dissociative identity disorder (DID) occurs when a person is dominated by at least one of two or more definitive personalities at one time. It is associated with psychosocial stress and conflict. Dissociative amnesia is characterized by the inability to recall an extensive amount of important personal information because of physical or psychological trauma. Dissociative fugue occurs when a person suddenly and unexpectedly leaves home or work and is unable to recall the past. In depersonalization disorder, the client experiences a strange alteration in the perception or experience of the self, often associated with a sense of unreality.
