Abstract
Multimodal behavior therapy emphasizes the need to pay specific and direct attention to the correction of deviant behaviors, unpleasant feelings, negative sensations, intrusive images, irrational beliefs, stressful relationships, and possible biochemical imbalance. In treating depressed persons, especially those in whom sicide is probable, it is imperative to enjoin the patient to recognize and utilize a variety of positive reinforcers. This often demands special therapeutic time and attention. Durbale results usually call for a new range of interpersonal skills, the elimination of selfdepreciation, time-projected images in which the client sees himself engaging in future rewarding activities, a “sensate focus” of enjoyable events, a repertoire of adaptive affective reactions such as self-assertive and uninhibited responses, and a behavioral pattern characterized by daily sampling of personally reinforcing activities.
