 Due the swiftness of change that Ecker and Hulley began experiencing with many of their clients, they initially named this new system "depth-oriented brief therapy" (DOBT).In 2005, Ecker and Hulley began calling the system "coherence therapy" in order for the name to more clearly reflect the central principle of the approach, and also because many therapists had come to associate the phrase "brief therapy" with depth-avoidant methods that they regard as superficial.In a series of three articles published in the "Journal of Constructivist Psychology" from 2007 to 2009, Bruce Ecker and Brian Toomey presented evidence that coherence therapy may be one of the systems of psychotherapy which, according to current neuroscience, makes fullest use of the brain's built-in capacities for change.
