Which of the following is NOT a type of Cluster B personality disorder?

Cluster B personality disorders are characterized by dramatic, overly emotional, or unpredictable thinking and behavior. The disorders classified under Cluster B include antisocial personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, and histrionic personality disorder.

Antisocial personality disorder is identified by a pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others, often manifesting as deceitfulness, impulsivity, and a lack of remorse. Narcissistic personality disorder is marked by a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and a lack of empathy, often accompanied by a fragile self-esteem. Borderline personality disorder involves a pattern of unstable relationships, self-image, and affects, as well as marked impulsivity.

In contrast, dependent personality disorder is classified under Cluster C personality disorders, which are characterized by anxious and fearful behaviors. Individuals with dependent personality disorder exhibit a pervasive and excessive need to be taken care of, leading to submissive and clinging behaviors and fears of separation.

Thus, choosing dependent personality disorder is accurate, as it does not belong to the Cluster B category.
