Pretty sure I remember a study that eclectic psychotherapy has lower efficacy than manual based psychotherapy, buts it been a few years..
"However, this doesn't mean everything he did was worthless."
Agreed - its popularity actively set back our collective understanding of the mind.
That's interesting. If accurate, it might be because manual based methods are designed to work as a whole, while fragments of certain methods only work in the context of the rest of the manual. I'd want more independent confirmation to trust the result myself though.
