Abstract
Chaos theory investigates processes that initially seem so complex tha t they do not appear to be governed by any known principles; however, they actually have an underlying order that can be described mathemati cally. The application of chaos theory to human behavior and experienc e demonstrates an affinity with humanistic psychology that deserves at tention, especially in such areas as creativity, health, and the sleep cycle.
