− | In general, psychodynamics studies the [[transformation]]s and exchanges of "[[psychic]] [[energy]]" within the personality.[5] A [[focus]] in psychodynamics is the connection between the energetics of emotional states in the [[id]], [[ego]], and [[superego]] as they relate to early childhood developments and processes. At the [[heart]] of psychological processes, according to Freud, is the [[ego]], which he envisions as battling with three forces: the id, the super-ego, and the outside world.[4] Hence, the basic psychodynamic model focuses on the dynamic interactions between the id, ego, and superego.[10] Psychodynamics, subsequently, attempts to explain or interpret behavior or mental states in terms of innate emotional forces or processes.

− | System dynamics is an aspect of [[systems theory]] as a method for understanding the dynamic [[behavior]] of complex systems. The basis of the method is the recognition that the [[structure]] of any system — the many circular, interlocking, sometimes time-delayed relationships among its components — is often just as important in determining its behavior as the individual components themselves. Examples are [[chaos]] theory and social dynamics. It is also claimed that because there are often properties-of-the-whole which cannot be found among the properties-of-the-elements, in some cases the behavior of the whole cannot be explained in terms of the behavior of the parts.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_dynamics] | + | System dynamics is an aspect of [[systems theory]] as a method for understanding the dynamic [[behavior]] of complex systems.
