Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

While some physical disorders were once described as psychosomatic or psychophysiologic to emphasize the
role of psychological factors in their etiology, such terms are all but obsolete today. While it was once thought
that only disorders clearly related to stress, such as ulcers and asthma, were influenced by psychological factors,
it is now recognized that all physical illnesses are affected in some way by psychological factors. Psychological
factors can influence the development, progression, and treatment of all physical illnesses. Behavioral medicine
is the interdisciplinary approach to the treatment of physical disorders that considers the impact of psychosocial
factors and health psychology is the area of psychology that studies the role of psychological factors in illnesses.
