Nonlinear Dynamics: Theoretical Perspectives and Application to Suicidology
Schiepek, Gunter; Fartacek, Clemens; Sturm, Josef; Kralovec, Karl; Fartacek, Reinhold; Ploderl, Martin
Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, v41 n6 p661-675 Dec 2011
Despite decades of research, the prediction of suicidal behavior remains limited. As a result, searching for more specific risk factors and testing their predictive power are central in suicidology. This strategy may be of limited value because it assumes linearity to the suicidal process that is most likely nonlinear by nature and which can be more adequately described and analyzed with nonlinear dynamics. The goal of moving nonlinear dynamics from theory to practice and to real-world phenomena can now be realized with Internet-based monitoring systems such as the Synergetic Navigation System.
