Abstract
Multimodal therapy (MMT) arose out of the realization that there were significant treatment omissions in behavior therapy and in cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). CBT rests on trimodal base – affect, behavior, and cognition. In addition, MMT also thoroughly assesses imagery, sensations, interpersonal relationships, and biological factors resulting in a seven-point diagnostic matrix. This broad-spectrum approach addresses response deficits and excesses, and rests on a social and cognitive learning theory base. While eschewing theoretical integration, multimodal therapists may borrow effective strategies from diverse theories without buying into the theories that spawned them – technical eclecticism. Follow-ups indicate that by working multimodally, clinicians are apt to achieve durable results.
