Most patients in psychotherapy suffer from a multitude of specific problems. Effective treatment calls for a wide yet focused range of specific approaches. Arnold A. Lazarus, originator of multimodal therapy, shows how a variety of strategies and techniques are more likely to bring lasting change. Whether evaluating therapist-patient compatibility or choosing an appropriate technique, he stresses the need to fit the treatment to the patient.

The Practice of Multimodal Therapy offers a practical, step-by-step guide to every phase of assessment and therapy, from the initial interview to follow-up treatments aimed at preventing relapse once formal treatment is over. Transcripts of actual sessions and vignettes of crucial transactions illustrate specific strategies. Also included is a glossary of thirty-seven separate therapeutic techniques.
