Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Joey's behavior indicates externalizing tendencies, which involve acting out and engaging in risky or dangerous behavior without regard for consequences or the impact on others. This is consistent with problematic alcohol use and a pattern of getting into fights for fun. Axis III refers to medical conditions that contribute to psychological symptoms, which is not indicated in this scenario. Attention deficit disorder and Axis V (Global Assessment of Functioning) are also not relevant to this situation.
