Disorder!

This type of symptom is a criteria for ASD but not for PTSD.

Psychologist Edna Foa has highlighted the importance of this in the treatment of PTSD, which involves facing fears,

diminishing their intensity, and coming to a new

understanding about the trauma and its consequences.

When treating an individual with DID, the psychologist will most likely focus on

doing this.

According to the Two-Factor Model for the etiology of PTSD, this occurs during

step one to create an initial association between some

type of stimulus and an unpleasant emotional

reaction.

Janet recently experienced a traumatic event, but she is not highly distressed by it. However, her friend convinces her to see a counselor, just to be safe. The counselor thoroughly and repeatedly discusses the event

with Janet, and over time, Janet becomes distressed. This term

describes the phenomenon Janet experienced in therapy.

These are two of the negative symptoms of

schizophrenia.

Some clients are “incorrectly” diagnosed with schizotypal

personality disorder, instead of schizophrenia, because its presentation is similar to that

of this phase of schizophrenia.

This is a family risk factor for relapse in

symptoms of schizophrenia.

Jackson had a psychotic break during his third year of college and

was diagnosed with schizophrenia. He has become more impaired over time and is

having trouble finding a job. Jackson’s experience is

consistent with this hypothesis for the relationship between

schizophrenia and lower SES.

This type of treatment involves bringing together a team of professionals to meet the needs of the client and is associated with a variety of good

outcomes.

Antisocial PD has many features which

overlap with this, which is not a disorder

in the DSM-IV.

This treatment for borderline PD involves

skills training, exposure, and acceptance of the

client’s feelings and behavior on the part of both

the client and clinician.

Hadley comes in for therapy feeling very angry at her co-workers for

their laziness and incompetence. She is unlikely to recognize that her

perceptions of others’ motivation and work are inaccurate because of

this feature of PDs.

Although it has been argued that PDs are untreatable,

research suggests, for example, that CBGT is

actually quite effective in treating this disorder.

These are two advantages of the current categorical

classification system for PDs found in the

DSM-IV.

These are the two sub-types of anorexia

nervosa.

These two types of families are more associated with

anorexia nervosa than with bulimia nervosa.

The presence of this behavior in either

anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa is often

found to relate to increased incidence of

other forms of psychopathology.

The research cited in your book suggested that

approximately this percent of individuals with

anorexia nervosa will die for reasons related to the

disorder.

Although depression is commonly seen in both those with anorexia and those with bulimia, the other disorders comorbid with this eating

disorder seem to include an underlying need for control.

This is an example of substance use

treatment that believes abstinence is necessary.

Paul started using cocaine several months ago. Since

then, he has stopped regularly attending classes

and his grades have dropped. He is showing this symptom of abuse.

This is confused state in which the person

withdrawing from alcohol becomes less aware of their surroundings and

has difficulties sustaining attention.

Men are this much more likely to abuse alcohol than women.

This ethnic group is generally found to have lower rates of

heavy alcohol use than White Americans, whereas this ethnic group is generally found to have

higher rates than White Americans.
