Chaos Theory in Relationships
Hi rgaines UK - you may like to check out 'Dynamical Psychology: Complexity, Self-Organization and Mind', by J. Friedenburg 2009, ISCE Publishing.
General comment in regards to chaos theory: let's not forget this theory was popularized with James Gleik's book 'Chaos: Making a New Science' in 1987 - a great deal more has happened in the area of complexity theory, complex adaptive systems, and complexity leadership theory over the past 24 years!
