A complex systems approach to the study of change in psychotherapy
Overview
This paper introduces a complex systems framework for studying psychotherapy change, drawing on dynamical systems theory, synergetics, and network theory. It presents the Network Destabilization and Transition (NDT) model as a conceptual tool to analyze nonlinear patterns of therapeutic progress. The resource outlines design considerations, research targets, and analytic tools for clinicians and researchers interested in applying complexity science to mental health.
