Programs that specialize in providing therapeutic interventions that are based on the approach developed by Arnold Lazarus which suggests the basic premise that clients are usually troubled by a multitude of specific problems that should be dealt with by a similar multitude of specific treatments. Multimodal therapy transcends the behavioral tradition by dealing in great depth with sensory, imagery, cognitive and interpersonal factors and their interactive effects. The task of the therapist is to develop the unique set of interventions that is appropriate for each individual based on a multimodal assessment of his or her temperament and personality. Assessments and interventions are structured around the seven modalities which are summarized by the acronym BASIC I.D.: behavior, affect, sensation, imagery, cognition, interpersonal relationships and drugs and biological factors.
