Robin Has a Difficult Time Making Decisions

Multiple Choice

Robin has a difficult time making decisions. She often relies on her mother to tell her what to do, when to do it, and how to do whatever she is doing. This is not due to her mother wanting to tell her what to do, but rather it stems from Robin's difficulty making decisions and doing things independently. Assuming this pattern characterizes many areas of her life, what personality disorder might best represent Robin's pattern of thoughts and behavior?

A) dependent personality disorder
B) narcissistic personality disorder
C) antisocial personality disorder
D) borderline personality disorder
