  1. Multimodal Therapy ARNOLD LAZARUS

  2. Connection to Social Work • Evidence-based • Assumes “parity” • Avoids diagnostic labels • Acknowledges multiple dimensions • Acknowledge interactions among dimensions

  3. MMT’s Assumption about People • People: • Move • Feel • Sense • Imagine • Think • Relate interpersonally

  4. Personality and MMT • Personalities are products of • Behaviors • Affective processes • Sensations • Images • Cognitions • Interpersonal relationships • Biological functions

  5. For ease of memory & euphony • Behaviors • Affective processes • Sensations • Images • Cognitions • Interpersonal relationships • Drugs & other biological functions

  6. Further Assumptions • Thorough, detailed assessment is essential to effective treatment. • An assessment schema should be: • Easy to remember • Easy to use • Point the way to effective interventions

  7. More Assumptions • The BASIC ID schema meets the criteria for a good schema • Systematically addressing each of the 7 modalities is comprehensive • Addressing problems in the 7 modalities will lead to progress

  8. Theoretical Background • Classical conditioning • Operant conditioning • Social learning theory • Cognitive theory

  9. MMT and the Unconscious • The “unconscious” as an entity is iffy. • People have different degrees of self-awareness. • Unrecognized stimuli can influence thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

  10. Basic Concepts • Classical and operant conditioning • Modeling and vicarious processes • Private events • Nonconscious processes • Defensive reactions • Communication • Metacommunication

  11. Functional Analysis • Identify • Antecedent stimuli • Organismic (mediating) variables • Response (observable) variables • Consequences

  12. Second-order BASIC IDs • The BASIC ID analysis can be applied to any problem identified on the first BASIC ID analysis.

  13. Using BASIC ID • Identify issues across BASIC ID • Note the primary modality • Build from the primary modality • Note the modality firing order • Use techniques appropriate to each modality
