Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Your first patient, a four year-old boy named Anthony, walks into the room with his mother. He is holding his motherīs hand, but as soon as she lets go and starts to leave, he starts crying and clinging to her. If he keeps up these symptoms, what kind of mental disorder could he develop?
2. You have finally convinced his mother to leave, and now you are alone with Anthony. He says he wants to play marbles, but when you tell him to set up the game, he refuses. You tell him again a little more firmly, and when he still refuses, you stand up threateningly. Anthony starts crying and throwing a tantrum, refusing to obey you. What disorder does he have a potential to develop if these problems were to continue?
3. After a minor fight over marbles, you finally agree to get the marbles yourself. Little Anthony immediately calms down and smiles as soon as he sees the marbles. You begin to set up a game of marbles and notice that Anthony is very excited, while just a few minutes ago he was very upset and sulky. What disorder might he develop if he continues to show these symptoms at a later age?
4. You have almost set up all of your marbles when you notice that one of the marbles is missing. You immediately turn to your patient, Anthony, who sheepishly admits that he took one of the marbles, insisting that it was pretty and he wanted to take it home. Anthony might develop what mental disorder if he still shows these habits as a teen?
5. You have finally set up your game of marbles to play with your four year-old patient when the boy insists you havenīt lined up the marbles right. Apparently, you were supposed to line them up according to color, and Anthony wonīt play unless you organize them the way he wants it. You decide that if he continues with these problems as he grows up, he has a potential for what mental disorder?
6. You and your patient Anthony have finally begun your game of marbles. After your turn is over, you look expectantly at Anthony. He smiles and says that his friend Lion will play for him. Lion, as it turns out, is a stuffed lion, and when you tell Anthony that the lion isnīt alive and therefore canīt play marbles, he begins to cry. Anthony insists that īthe lion is realī and īhe has feelings tooī. This sounds like Anthony could develop what disorder, if he continues to hold these beliefs later in life?
7. Thanks to a quarrel over whether a stuffed animal had feelings or not, Anthony is currently sulking. In order to placate him, you ask him about his life. He tells you a wild story about living in Japan and eating ice cream every day. You know this is not true, and you notice that the anger Anthony was feeling before vanished. Instead, he seems to be a completely different person, a happy and cheerful child. What disorder does this sound like?
8. You have convinced your patient to settle down and play marbles with you, but you notice that he has a hard time sitting still and waiting for his turn. Instead, he squirms around and turns to look at whatever is out the window. When it is his turn, he doesnīt seem to realize it until you point it out to him. What disorder does it look like he could have?
9. Anthony and you are happily playing marbles. You originally wanted to let him win, but as it turns out heīs quite good all on his own. As you flick one of your marbles, you accidentally send it flying towards Anthony, and it hits him in the eye. He immediately starts crying, and while you try to comfort him he keeps wailing that he will go blind in that eye now. What disorder do you mark him down as a candidate for, assuming he continues this behavior into adulthood?
10. Itīs been a long day already, but you and your four year-old patient have finally finished your game of marbles. Anthony won by a long shot, though you tell yourself it is because you let him do so. To show you have no bad feelings, you offer him a chocolate bar. Anthony refuses, saying that whenever he eats chocolate he always throws it up later. Looks like the therapy session isnīt entirely over, because you mark him down for having what disorder if this behavior continues?
