Connection to Social Work
Evidence-based
Assumes “parity”
Avoids diagnostic labels
Acknowledges multiple dimensions
Acknowledge interactions among
dimensions
MMT’s Assumption about People
People:
Move
Feel
Sense
Imagine
Think
Relate interpersonally
Personality and MMT
Personalities are products of
Behaviors
Affective processes
Sensations
Images
Cognitions
Interpersonal relationships
Biological functions
For ease of memory & euphony
Behaviors
Affective processes
Sensations
Images
Cognitions
Interpersonal relationships
Drugs & other biological functions
Further Assumptions
Thorough, detailed assessment is
essential to effective treatment.
An assessment schema should be:
Easy to remember
Easy to use
Point the way to effective interventions
More Assumptions
The BASIC ID schema meets the criteria
for a good schema
Systematically addressing each of the 7
modalities is comprehensive
Addressing problems in the 7 modalities
will lead to progress
Theoretical Background
Classical conditioning
Operant conditioning
Social learning theory
Cognitive theory
MMT and the Unconscious
The “unconscious” as an entity is iffy.
People have different degrees of self-
awareness.
Unrecognized stimuli can influence
thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Basic Concepts
Classical and operant conditioning
Modeling and vicarious processes
Private events
Nonconscious processes
Defensive reactions
Communication
Metacommunication
Functional Analysis
Identify
Antecedent stimuli
Organismic (mediating) variables
Response (observable) variables
Consequences
Second-order BASIC IDs
The BASIC ID analysis can be applied to
any problem identified on the first BASIC
ID analysis.
Using BASIC ID
Identify issues across BASIC ID
Note the primary modality
Build from the primary modality
Note the modality firing order
Use techniques appropriate to each
modality
