单项选择题
A respectable lawyer is admitted to an acute care facility with epigastric pain. Since admission, the client has called the nurse every 15 minutes with one request or another. Which of the following could explain this client’s behavior
A. Repression.
B. Somatization.
C. Regression.
D. Conversion.
答案
参考答案：C
解析：The client is exhibiting the defense mechanism of regression--a return to behavior characteristic of an earlier developmental level. Dependent, attention-getting behavior is an attempt to relieve anxiety. Repression would manifest as ignoring the symptoms. Somatization is the channeling of anxiety into a preoccupation with physical complaints. Conversion involves transfer of a mental conflict into a physical symptom to relieve anxiety.
