Modeling the Dynamics of Psychosis by Kinetic Logic

摘要: There is a growing recognition of dynamical systems approaches and process oriented studies in clinical psychology psychiatry. The new enthusiasm however risks turning into dissatisfaction when facing methodological obstacles empirical research mathematical modeling. Therefore graspable tools allowing translation current knowledge meaningful models could be helpful as stepping stone. In this paper Boolean modeling approach its application to the dynamics psychosis presented: Kinetic Logic, originating from R. Thomas, describes on an intermediate level between purely verbal description using nonlinear differential equations. A model introduced that patterns chronic context vocational rehabilitation. Two attractor-like chronicity are presented. also proves useful formulating exploring possible treatment strategies. hypothesis about modus operandi family intervention
