Toward a Theory of Chaos and Crisis

Informazioni sul libro
From the crisis of birth to the crisis of death, each person's life is defined by the crises experienced and the ways in which the resulting chaos is resolved. As universally experienced events, our personal identities are influenced by the past crises that mold and shape our view of ourselves and our relationships with others. Chaos, as the inevitable result of the crisis state, allows us to see our lives in new and unique ways unbounded by our past limitations. While some individuals exit the maelstrom of a crisis with apparent ease, other individuals seem to live in the chaos of perpetual crisis never fully exiting the whirlpool of emotions and never fully experiencing the calm after the multiple storms that seem to continually confront them. Written jointly by a clinical psychologist (Cappelletty) and an ethical philosopher (Màdera), this book will help both the individuals facing a crisis as well as those who wish to help them resolve the crisis and move forward. Based on psychological, medical and philosophical research and practice, this examination of crisis and chaos will help the suffering person in love and life.
