ABOUT THE VIDEO

In Multimodal Therapy, Dr. Arnold A. Lazarus demonstrates this technically eclectic but theoretically consistent approach to therapy. The multimodal orientation begins with the assumption that therapy must assess seven discrete but interactive modalities (abbreviated by the acronym BASIC ID, which stands for Behavior, Affect, Sensation, Imagery, Cognition, Interpersonal factors, and Drug/Biological considerations). This psychoeducational framework encourages therapists to improvise and tailor therapy to the client. In this session, Dr. Lazarus works with a client who has issues with people-pleasing and blame. Dr. Lazarus demonstrates how his preliminary BASIC ID assessment rapidly and accurately helps target areas for therapeutic focus.

This video features a client portrayed by an actor on the basis of actual case material.

ABOUT THE APPROACH

The multimodal approach rests on the assumption that unless seven discrete but interactive modalities are assessed, treatment is likely to overlook significant concerns. Initial interviews and the use of a Multimodal Life History Inventory (Lazarus & Lazarus, 1991) provide an initial overview of a client's significant Behaviors, Affective responses, Sensory reactions, Images, Cognitions, Interpersonal relationships, and the need for Drugs and other biological interventions.
