Nonlinear Psychoanalysis : Notes from Forty Years of Chaos and Complexity The...

* Item Description

Nonlinear concepts from chaos theory, complexity studies and fractal geometry have transformed the way we think about the mind. Nonlinear Psychoanalysis shows how nonlinear dynamics can be integrated with psychoanalytic thinking to shed new light on psychological development, therapeutic processes and fundamental psychoanalytic concepts. Galatzer-Levy brings an unusual combination of training in psychiatry, psychoanalysis and mathematics to this unique study, which summarizes his 40 years of exploration of nonlinearity and psychoanalysis. Nonlinear Psychoanalysis will appeal to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists as well as students of nonlinear dynamics systems.
