A young woman client admits to a nurse that she cannot control her jealousy when she and her partner are out together and states, "It's like we're back in high school again." This is an example of which identity disorder?
A) Self-actualization
B) Identity diffusion
C) Depersonalization
D) Lack of self-esteem
Ans: B
Identity diffusion is the failure to integrate various childhood identifications into a harmonious adult psychosocial identity, which can lead to disruptions in relationships and problems of intimacy. The need for self-actualization is the need to reach one's potential through full development of one's unique capability. Depersonalization is the subjective experience of the partial or total disruption of one's ego, and the disintegration and disorganization of one's self-concept (Stuart & Laraia, 2005). The need for self-esteem is the need to feel good about oneself and to believe that others hold one in high regard.
