Peggy, a 62-year-old white woman, has been experiencing anxiety attacks. She seeks out counseling at the suggestion of her minister, Reverend Darcy. Peggy's husband, an alcoholic from whom she was separated for the last 2 years, recently died. Although the marriage was troubled, she had hoped that they could be reconciled eventually. Peggy has been unable to work for the past year because of a back injury that she sustained at her job as a cafeteria worker. Because of her anxiety, she stopped going to physical therapy.
