| c. | The patient has enduring ways of relating that often provoke negative reactions. |
| d. | The patient has considerable resilience when faced with stressful life situations. |
ANS: C
The three features of personality disorders are (1) the individual has acquired few strategies for relating, and his or her approaches are inflexible and maladaptive; (2) the individual’s needs, perceptions, and behavior tend to foster vicious circles that continue unhelpful patterns and provoke negative reactions from others; and (3) the individual’s adaptation is characterized by tenuous stability, fragility, and lack of resilience when faced with stress. The patient’s treatment plan is directed toward improvement of patient condition, but it does not guarantee improvement or cure.

| a. | “The only reason for interacting is to take advantage of others.” |
| b. | “‘Live and let live’ is as good a philosophy as any to live by.” |
| c. | “I’ve always found that ‘help one another’ is a good policy.” |
| d. | “I’ll be your doormat. Feel free to take advantage of me.” |
ANS: A
Antisocial individuals are exploitative and manipulative. They prefer to control others to avoid being controlled. The attitudes of “live and let live” and “help one another” are not reflective of an individual with antisocial personality disorder since they are incapable of empathy or sympathy. Being a “doormat” reflects a poor sense of self-esteem and personal worth.
