1. What is v2.1

ModalityCatcher v2.1 is the evolution of v1.0–v2.0, providing a single HTML tool with multi-layered information architecture allowing both patients and clinicians to deeply understand 30 psychotherapy modalities.

Core Innovation:

• Adds depth dimension on top of recommendation engine (v1.0–v2.0)
• 14 core fields delivered simultaneously in patient/clinical perspectives × KR/EN languages
• Total 1,680 cells (30 × 14 × 4) of informed-consent content
• Single HTML file (1.4MB), no backend required

Theoretical Foundation:

Beutler STS-CRF discriminant factors + Phase 0-D 300-cell matrix + Bordin working alliance + source-modality core-mechanism literature.

2. Difference from v1.2 — What is New

3. 14-Field Structure in Detail

Each modality is described across the following 14 fields:

1. Anchor — Single-sentence essence of the modality

2. One-liner — Clear definition for both patient and clinical

3. Core Mechanism — 3-part: what problem · how addressed · why it works

4. Session Arc — Early · middle · end flow

5. Key Techniques — 5–7 signature techniques

6. Duration — Sessions, length, frequency, homework, completion criteria

7. Evidence — EST tier, guidelines, meta-analyses, limitations

8. Who It's For — 7–10 primary indications

9. Who It's Not For — Absolute/relative contraindications + alternatives

10. Patient Experience — First-person narrative or clinical note

11. Therapist Perspective — Clinical wisdom and training challenges

12. Comparison Anchors — Differentiation vs 4–5 nearest modalities

13. Misconceptions — 5 myth/truth pairs

14. Evidence-based Metaphor — Evocative metaphor + neurobiological grounding

4. Patient View vs Clinical View

Toggle button in top-right corner switches between two modes:

Patient Mode

• Everyday language, metaphor, first-person narrative focus
• Sufficient information for treatment decisions without overwhelm
• Example: Patient experience like "I washed my hands 50 times daily for 10 years..."

Clinical Mode

• DSM-5 / RCT / mechanism-deep clinical information
• Clinical-note format, effect sizes, meta-analyses, neural mechanisms
• Example: "Y-BOCS baseline 32, 9 at week 12 (Foa 2005)..."

While the patient views their own material, the clinician can immediately conduct clinical review by toggling modes on the same screen.

5. Korean/English Toggle

The KR/EN toggle from v1.2 now applies automatically to v2.1 14-field content:

• Korean mode + Patient view = patient_kr variant
• English mode + Clinical view = clinical_en variant
• 4 total variants auto-matched

6. Step-by-Step Usage

Step 1: Patient Self-Assessment (12 min)

Answer 35 multiple-choice items integrating proprietary self-derived scales (symptom dimensions, readiness-to-change); no named standard instruments.

Step 2: Clinician Assessment (5–7 min)

20 5-point sliders evaluate patient dimensions (Beutler STS-CRF based).

Step 3: Matching Results

Top 5 recommended modalities displayed with percentage weights. Each card has:

• "▼ Show discriminant factors" — recommendation rationale (Phase 0-D matrix)
• "📖 14-Field Detail View" — v2.1 NEW feature, opens 14-field modal

Step 4: 14-Field Detail Review (v2.1 Core)

Click "📖 14-Field Detail View" to open modal showing:

• 14 sections in color-coded cards
• Top-right mode toggle for instant patient/clinical switch
• Menu KR/EN toggle for language switch
• Close: × button, ESC key, click background

7. Clinical Application Cases

Case A. 58-year-old female with chronic depression after bereavement

Patient self-assessment + clinician STS-CRF → IPT 81% recommendation. Patient clicks "📖 14-Field Detail View" → reads IPT patient-narrative in patient mode and consents. Clinician switches to clinical mode → plans HAM-D tracking.

Case B. 35-year-old male with chronic OCD

ERP 89% recommendation. Patient hesitant about "exposure" → reads "fire alarm" metaphor in patient mode and understands. Clinician reviews Y-BOCS, Foa 2005 meta-analysis in clinical mode.

8. Technical Specifications & Deployment

Deployment Methods:

• GitHub Pages: upload as index.html
• GoDaddy/cPanel: direct upload to public_html
• AWS S3 + CloudFront: static hosting (Boston Neuromind standard)

9. Known Limitations

• 14-field content represents clinical opinion + literature integration, an information tool not a diagnostic decision tool
• TF-CBT modality has 15 fields (1 bonus clinical field added)
• Cultural adaptation: Korean content tailored to Korean clinical context; further East-Asian adaptation (Japanese, Chinese) pending
• Additional modalities (Hakomi, Brainspotting, etc.) planned for future versions

10. FAQ

Q1. Can I use only the v1.2 manual?

A. v1.2 core functions remain compatible. However, v2.1 new features (14 fields, mode toggle) require this manual.

Q2. Does it work without internet?

A. Only Google Fonts via CDN. Download fonts locally and modify the link tag for fully offline use.

Q3. Should patients see clinical mode?

A. Clinical mode uses clinical terminology and may overwhelm patients. Recommended to start in patient mode.

Q4. Can it be printed?

A. The 14-field modal can be saved as PDF using browser print. Future version will add explicit PDF download button.

Q5. What is the source of Korean content?

A. Clinical manuals + RCT literature + Boston Neuromind clinical integration. Sources documented in clinical-mode evidence sections.
