It seems that the original author(s) of these schools had some original insight into the existence of humans. From their either directly or via metaphor they translated that into language then developed an integrated system a theory of everything from them, although the latter was based not on direct experience but on logical extrapolation.
From there students picked up the overall system and applied it by rote, not knowing about the difference between the original thought and the extrapolation. Indeed they defended the systems position against the students of other schools who had been through the same process.
It seems then that the art of psychotherapy is finding for each client what out of the various schools provides most for them and when some concept\technique\idiom emerges to use that but not to fall into the trap of proceeding from there around the rest of that pscyhological system.
