Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Clients with histrionic personality disorder tend to have shallow and fleeting interpersonal relationships, as they prioritize their own dependency needs and seek attention and validation rather than forming genuine connections. Option A is incorrect as the "interesting and fulfilling" quality of their relationships is superficial and short-lived. Option C is also incorrect as clients with histrionic personality disorder are not strongly independent but rather have a strong desire to be dependent on others. Option D is incorrect as paying attention to details is not a characteristic of histrionic personality disorder and would not interfere with the development of relationships.
