Personality systematics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Personality systematics (Magnavita, 2004, 2006) is the study of the interrelationships among subsystems of personality as they are embedded in the entire ecological system. Personality systematics seeks to establish the underlying processes within the domains of the larger system. The domains range from what can be observed from the microlevel to the macrolevel domains. Personality can be conceptualized as an emergent phenomena of the convergent forces and their expressions which can be compared to a holographic representation. Personality systematics is based on a holistic model of functioning which considers part-whole relationships as being essential to understanding complex self-organizing systems.
