Abstract
Nonlinear dynamics represents an important paradigm shift for understanding complexity, both in the world around us as well as inside of us. Many psychoanalysts interested in the new sciences employ the concepts descriptively. By contrast, Yakov Shapiro has innovated a practical method for applying nonlinear ideas to psychotherapy. In theory his ideas hold great promise; in practice, more work needs to be done.
