22. Brett is exhibiting signs of dissociative amnesia. Which of the following scenarios would most likely depict Brett's situation? A Brett was at work in Seattle when a police officer asked if he was John Simons from Miami. Brett said no, but the officer showed him a picture of himself with a family he had no memory of. Brett did not remember how he got to Seattle and did not remember ever being named John. B D After experiencing a bad car accident two month ago, Brett has such anxiety about driving or riding in cars that he refuses to do either activity. Even taking the bus makes him feel highly alarmed, and he is extremely startled every time the bus stops. Last week, Brett could not get out of bed and felt that everything was meaningless. This week, Brett feels wildly optimistic and believes that he is going to write a 1,000-page best-selling novel in two days' time. Brett has horrible headaches, and they do not have a physical cause. Brett is convinced something is terribly wrong with him, and he has been to twenty doctors, who all assure him he is fine. E Throughout most of his life, Brett has had intense personal conflicts with anyone who is close with him. He is also extremely emotionally unstable and terrified of abandonment. 22.
