Gestalt, NLP and Erickson

Once upon a time I got interested in gestalt therapy. Then my interest shifted towards NLP and Milton Erickson. But now I find myself with a renewed interest in gestalt therapy and I am wondering how people with a gestalt perspective view similarities, compatibilities and differences between these different approaches to change.

As I see it now, one can integrate and utilize very much from NLP and Ericksonian approaches in a gestalt approach. Surprisingly to me, I have not found much written in gestalt litterature about NLP or Erickson, except for some references to The Structure of Magic. Though I may not have looked in the right places. Any thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated.
