Abstract
A review of theoretical models that have attempted to integrate the relationship between the four basic responsemodalities studied in psychology—physiology, behavior, cognition, and affect—with the environment, or stress, is made. However, none of the models seem to adequately offer a clear, concise, easy-to-understand, visual model. A step toward such a model, called the pyramid, is made here. It fulfills some of the most importanttenants of theory, which is clarity and simplicity. All components of the model are explained, and potential heuristic directions are presented. It is believed that this model will serve as the most useful and thorough theoretical framework for psychology’s evolution. In addition, the pyramid offers a clear model for not only choosing treatment modalities but also combining treatment modalities as a framework for a multidimensional treatment package.
