QUESTION 7
Mary has been married for 20 years and describes how her husband has been verbally abusive toward her for most of that
time. She indicates that her husband has had multiple affairs with other women but she can't leave him because she "loves
and needs him." When challenged by the interviewer regarding the wisdom of staying with such a man, Mary agrees with
the interviewer, although she later confides that she always agrees with everyone to avoid conflict and disapproval. Mary
should be diagnosed with
personality disorder.
