Do you need flexibility, or a laser-sharp focus?

Applying a particular theoretical approach to a case is always part of a larger context—in a general sense, who are the clients you are serving? What are the characteristics of the environment in which you work? Given that, what theoretical framework will work best? Do you need flexibility, or a laser-sharp focus?
