Leading Role

The authors present some comments on the article "Groups and Their Interests" by A. Rubinstein (Voprosy Economiki. 2006. No 11). The article is highly estimated by the authors. Meanwhile, they believe the problem put forward cannot be solved without a new approach to macroeconomics as a multi-leveled system with the leading role of financial capital. In order to discuss macroeconomic issues in the context of the complex systems theory the authors develop a synergetic paradigm.

Meta Analyses

IntroductionIn the last 15 years, several new waves have been described within CBT. At the same time, two constraints seem to define the role of psychotherapy: an integrative theoretical trend; an increasing incidence of chronic psychiatric disorders and psychiatric morbidity in chronic conditions.ObjectivesWe discuss the viability of a Complex Systems Theory perspective in fostering the theoretical integration of the new wave of CBT and in promoting the healthcare sustainability in facing with chronicity.AimsThe aims of the present study are to:– frame a few recurrent and relevant theoretical dimensions in psychotherapy;– outline a preliminary cost-effectiveness analysis of a Complex Systems Theory approach to psychiatric chronicity.MethodsWe performed a non-systematic review and a meta-synthesis of selected references (identified through a citation analysis per single reference and per single scholar) of the new wave of CBT. We especially focused on theoretical handbooks, meta-analyses and reviews, clinical trials.ResultsComplex Systems Theory describes an approach to theoretical and operational models based on adaptability, interdependency and self-organization. In defining a few integrative trends in psychotherapy, we highlighted the focus on:– interpretation of events vs. events per se;– processes vs. contents;– transdiagnostic vs. pathologized models.Furthermore, we framed economic, organizational, and educational implications of such an approach in promoting the adaptability of psychotherapy-as-a-system in dealing with the so-called double crisis of welfare state: continuous cutbacks in response to recession; longer-term pressures on health and social care.ConclusionsDespite further studies are needed, we maintain that psychiatry may benefit from a Complex Systems Theory perspective.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his/her declaration of competing interest.

Project Risk Management is crucial in determining the future performance of a complex project. Increasing project complexity makes it more and more difficult to anticipate potential events that could affect the project and to make effective decisions to reduce project risk exposure. To tackle these conceptual and managerial issues, the proposed approach introduces Complex Systems Theory-based improvements into some PRM subprocesses and runs the global PRM process using Agile Project Management principles. We argue that these advanced techniques for managing project risk complexity, notably risk interdependencies, are coherent with the distributed, self-organized nature of agile teams. This new way of structuring and executing Project Risk Management offers the possibility to make decisions more frequently, when needed, with a more distributed authority, and with richer information about anticipation of events and consequences of actions. First results show an appropriation of this combined approach by project members due to agile principles that allows for getting the more reliable information promised by Complex Systems Theory.
