FOCUSED OR ECLECTIC THAT IS THE QUESTION

In the 1980s I came upon Cognitive Psychology and learning it, I chose that I would take a focused, systematic, systemic, and synergistic approach. Previously, I had spent many years studying Psychoanalysis, then Alderian, Rank, then Transactional Analysis, then Rational- Emotive. And along the way, I had looked into various fads that arose over the years. But once finding Cognitive Psychology, I chose to not be eclectic. That choice saved me from being distracted and reactive. I had enough of that. Then I found NLP and I immediately knew what I had. I recognized that NLP was a Cognitive model— and one that filled-in the details for Rational-Emotive and other cognitive approaches.
