Abstract

Of all current psychologies, psychoanalysis is the most engaged with the complex and chaotic dimensions of human development and suffering – intricate psychic processes, fluxing mental and physical states, unexpected shifts between clarity and confusion, big changes following small inputs, uncertainty about causes and locations – including whose thoughts belong to whom, and more. These crucial elements, however, have not always been taken up explicitly. Nonlinear dynamic systems theory (NLDS) provides an aesthetically pleasing and scientifically current framework for these factors and illuminates established clinical practice and theory. Through clinical examples, conceptual elaboration, and an account of the author’s growing interest in this field, this paper offers a user-friendly invitation to NLDS.

分析师真正做的是:作为非线性动态系统的精神分析

在所有当前的心理学中，精神分析学最关注的是人类发展和痛苦的复杂和混乱的维度——复杂的心理过程，多变的精神和身体状态，清晰和混乱之间的意外转变，小输入后的大变化，原因和位置的不确定性——包括谁的思想属于谁，等等。然而，这些关键因素并不总是被明确地讨论。非线性动力系统理论(NLDS)为这些因素提供了一个美观和科学的框架，并阐明了已建立的临床实践和理论。通过临床实例，概念阐述，以及作者对这一领域日益增长的兴趣，本文提供了一个用户友好的邀请NLDS。

期刊介绍： The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child is recognized as a preeminent source of contemporary psychoanalytic thought. Published annually, it focuses on presenting carefully selected and edited representative articles featuring ongoing analytic research as well as clinical and theoretical contributions for use in the treatment of adults and children. Initiated in 1945, under the early leadership of Anna Freud, Kurt and Ruth Eissler, Marianne and Ernst Kris, this series of volumes soon established itself as a leading reference source of study. To look at its contributors is to be confronted with the names of a stellar list of creative, scholarly pioneers who willed a rich heritage of information about the development and disorders of children and their influence on the treatment of adults as well as children. An innovative section, The Child Analyst at Work, periodically provides a forum for dialogue and discussion of clinical process from multiple viewpoints.
