How can we make sense of such confusing and baffling behavior? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book reveals how chaos and nonlinear dynamics can bring new understanding to everyday topics in social sciences. It brings together chapters from leaders at the intersection of psychology and chaos and complexity theories. Conceptual and user-friendly, it is built around six themes: 1) Seeing nonlinearity, 2) Finding patterns, 3) using Simple models, 4) Intervening nonlinearly, and 6) teaching a new Worldview. It takes no specialized study-although there is more sophisticated material and optional math for those wishing it. The techie will, in addition, find concepts and diagrams to ponder. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe volume is engaging, at times startling-whether about the weather, Internet, organizations, family dynamics, health, evolution, or falling in love. It reveals how many social, personal, clinical, research, and life phenomena become understandable and can be modelled in the light of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems (NDS) theory. It even offers a broadening worldview, happening already in other sciences, toward a more dynamic, interconnected, and evolving picture, including process-oriented appreciation of one's own experience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book offers those in the field of psychology and the social sciences a stunning new perspective on human behaviour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Schuldberg, Ruth Richards, Shan Guisinger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0190465026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190465025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/03\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2023","brand":"David Schuldberg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43945216606463,"sku":"9780190465025","price":87.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_39779276-d7f2-4fb3-9e34-8e51be798243.jpg?v=1681507455","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chaos-and-nonlinear-psychology-david-schuldberg-9780190465025","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
