Are all behavioral psychologists localizationists?

I have always thought that behavioral psychology made more sense than psychotherapy. But I have been reading the book, "The Brain that Changes Itself" which is about neuroplasticity and I have begun to wonder. Seems like Freud was ahead of his time and that he believed in neuroplasticity and did not agree with localization of functions within the brain.

Answer:
I'm not an expert in this area, but I did not realize that behavioral psychologists did not agree with localization of functions within the brain. My understanding is that there are clearly regions of the brain that are more "in charge" of certain functions - e.g. the frontal lobe and executive functioning.
However, the brain is a wonderful and complicated organ, and can compensate for losses and is plastic in its development.
So overall... I don't think it's one or the other (neuroplasticity OR localization of function) - it's more a "both/and" - as well as a bit more complicated than just these two issues.
