Strange Attractors : Chaos, Complexity, and the Art of Family Therapy

Rating:
Summary: A new model for family therapy
Review: There have been many, perhaps far too many, books which try to use chaos & complexity theory as a model for therapy. Most such books have only the most limited understanding of either chaos/complexity theory or therapy. This book stands out because the authors are both working therapists and experts in non-linear dynamics. And perhaps most importantly, they know how to write in a way that is useful to therapists, as well as to anyone who wants to think deeply about how human beings grow and change.
