This rigid adherence to self-defeating behaviour patterns is known as the “neurotic paradox”.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because the neurotic paradox refers to the tendency of individuals to engage in self-defeating behavior patterns, even though they are aware that these behaviors are not beneficial or helpful. This rigid adherence to self-destructive patterns can be seen in various aspects of a person's life, such as relationships, work, or personal habits. Despite the negative consequences, individuals with neurotic tendencies find it difficult to break free from these patterns, resulting in a paradoxical situation where they continue engaging in behaviors that are not in their best interest.Rate this question:

The psychoanalytic theories of depression therefore focus on - (Select two)
- A.
Loss
- B.
Over dependence on external approval
- C.
Anger turned outwards
Correct Answer(s)
A. Loss
B. Over dependence on external approvalExplanation
Psychoanalytic theories of depression emphasize two main factors: loss and over dependence on external approval. Loss refers to the experience of losing someone or something significant, leading to feelings of sadness and grief. Over dependence on external approval suggests that individuals with depression may rely excessively on others' validation and approval for their self-worth, leading to a lack of self-esteem and increased vulnerability to depressive symptoms. These two factors are considered crucial in understanding the development and maintenance of depression from a psychoanalytic perspective.Rate this question:

B. Someone starts to sleep badly and becomes irritable
C. A person finds it difficult to laugh or enjoy the things that formerly interested and stimulated him or her
D. Someone seems to be 'out of sorts,' unhappy, lacking in zest, or begins to drink heavily and frequentlyExplanation
Depression should be suspected if someone starts to sleep badly and becomes irritable. This can be a sign of disrupted sleep patterns and changes in mood, which are common symptoms of depression. Additionally, a person finding it difficult to laugh or enjoy things that once interested them is another indicator. This loss of interest and pleasure in activities is a key symptom of depression. Finally, if someone seems "out of sorts," lacking in zest, or begins to engage in heavy and frequent drinking, it can also be a sign of depression as individuals often turn to substances as a coping mechanism.Rate this question:
