In mate selection psychology, psychodynamics is defined as the study of the [[force]]s, motives, and energy generated by the deepest of human needs.[9]

In mate selection psychology, psychodynamics is defined as the study of the [[force]]s, motives, and energy generated by the deepest of human needs.[9]

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.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychodynamics

'''System dynamics''' is an approach to understanding the [[behaviour]] of [[complex]] [[system]]s over time. It deals with internal feedback loops and [[time]] delays that affect the behaviour of the entire system.[1] What makes using system dynamics different from other approaches to studying complex systems is the use of feedback loops and stocks and [[flow]]s. These elements help describe how even seemingly simple systems display baffling [[nonlinearity]].

System dynamics is a [[power]]ful [[method]]ology and computer [[simulation]] [[modeling]] [[technique]] for framing, understanding, and discussing complex issues and problems. Originally developed in the 1950s to help corporate managers improve their understanding of industrial [[process]]es, system dynamics is currently being used throughout the [[public]] and [[private]] sector for policy [[analysis]] and [[design]].[2]

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]
