A young man is remanded by the courts for psychiatric treatment. From his police record the nurse notices that the client has records of delinquency, running away, auto theft, and vandalism in his early teenage years. He dropped out of school at age 16 and has been living on his own since then. His history suggests maladaptive coping. Which of the following problems is most associated with maladaptive coping
A. Antisocial personality disorder.
B. Borderline personality disorder.
C. Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.
D. Narcissistic personality disorder.
参考答案：A
解析：The client’s history of delinquency, running away from home, vandalism, and dropping out of school are characteristic of antisocial personality disorder. This maladaptive coping pattern is manifested by a disregard for societal norms of behavior and an inability to relate meaningfully to others. In borderline personality disorder, the client exhibits mood instability, poor self-image, identity disturbance, and labile affect. Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder is characterized by a preoccupation with impulses and thoughts that the client can’t control, even though he realizes they’re senseless. Narcissistic personality disorder is marked by a pattern of self-involvement, grandiosity, and demand for constant attention.
