| Summary |
"Although many books have discussed methodological advances in nonlinear dynamical systems (NDS) theory, this volume is unique in its focus on NDS's role in the development of psychological theory. The chapters are by experts in the use of NDS in each of their respective areas, including biological, cognitive, developmental, social, organizational, and clinical psychology. Each chapter provides an in-depth examination of theoretical foundations and specific applications and a review of relevant methods. This edited collection represents the state of the art in NDS science across the disciplines of psychology."--Jacket |
