State the most accurate diagnosis possible. Then state the most effective way to treat the client. Mary is a 20 year old woman who reports she is terrified of eating in public. This fear is so intense that she declines two offers to go out to dinner. Her friends do not understand her unwillingness to eat in public and are starting to feel alienated.

On one occasion, when her parents tried to force her to eat in a public restaurant, she began to sweat and tremble and demand to be taken home immediately.
