Multimodal therapy 19 explains human functioning in terms of seven independent yet interactive dimensions, referred to by the acronym BASIC-I. D″ 2 scores are computed by subtracting the client modality scores from the therapist modality scores, squaring the differences, and adding them together: D″ 2 = (B″ t – B″ c) 2 + (A″ t – A″ c) 2 + (S″ t – S″ c) 2 + (I″ t – I″ c) 2 + (C″ t – C″ c) 2 + (I. The results of this study suggest that despite the therapist's theoretical orientation, and regardless of the specific techniques employed in psychotherapy, the match between the therapist's and client's modality orientation will have significant implications for psychotherapy outcome.
