Marsha feels she can only be understood by others, like her, who feel they are superior in some facet of life. She tends to exaggerate her achievements and demonstrates an overwhelming desire for love, success, and power. What disorder does this individual display?
  1. Chauvinistic personality disorder
  2. Borderline personality disorder
  3. Bi-polar disorder

Explanation
Answer - D - Marsha displays the symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder. Most signs emerge in childhood. Negative consequences do not show themselves until adulthood.

Long-term insight therapy can be effective, but getting the person to commit is a problem.
