Analysis of adaptive dynamical systems for eating regulation disorders

Abstract

To analyse a subject's mental processes, psychotherapists often face nontrivial properties of adaptive dynamical systems. Analysis of dynamical systems usually is performed using mathematical techniques. Such an analysis is not precisely the type of reasoning performed in psychotherapy practice. In this paper it is shown how practical reasoning about dynamic properties of adaptive dynamical systems within psychotherapy can be described using dynamical logical methods and a high-level language to describe dynamics.
