Question 45

To determine the literal meaning of "psych/iatr/y", we analyze the word parts: "psych-" relates to the mind, "iatr-" relates to treatment/curing, and "-y" denotes a process. So it means treating the mind.

In psychology (and psychiatry), personality disorders are grouped into three clusters (Cluster A: odd/eccentric, Cluster B: dramatic/erratic, Cluster C: anxious/fearful).

Answer:

the procedure or process of treating or curing the mind
