This review is from: Analysis of Dynamic Psychological Systems (Hardcover)

Five chapters of fascinating reading if you are interested in perspectives of complexity, dynamical systems, chaos and strange attractors as they might be described in the field of psychological research.  The editors offer this as a "tutorial on systems theory." It is a complex book written by some of our best leaders in this field of research   The chapter on basic principles lead by Frederick Abraham is worth the price of admission, and Ralph Levine's discussion of philosophical assumptions about system dynamics is excellent.
