My thought is that when you psionically focus (3rd ed mechanic); you can pick one discipline you have.  As long as you remain focused, you gain whatever the Concentration effect is and can use any of the powers in that discipline by using the listed point cost.  You do not lose the focus by using powers (although there are probably some where that will trigger) in the chosen discipline.  If you want to switch disciplines, you would have to refocus.

If a discipline has a prerequisite discipline, than you can have it and the prerequisite active at the same time.  You may only have one additional discipline active in this way.  Changing either discipline or both requires you to drop and re-focus.
