"Turbulent contextualism" is a phrase I coined as a way of using language to describe the necessary destabilizing aspects of the chaotic dynamics of change in the analytic process. This term captures the ever-shifting and turbulent context dependent
nature of the clinical situation and is a useful expression for dynamic systems in psychoanalysis.

Review Turbulent Contextualism: Bearing Complexity Toward Change
1 Person Reviewed This Item
"from "Comments on Turbulent Contextualism" (pp. xi-xvi)"
"There is much I could say about this paper! It is indeed well written. Amazing
quotes are aptly scattered throughout the text! Elena’s work demonstrates a keen understanding of both clinical processes and psychoanalytic theory. Yet there is another aspect of this paper to which I will address my remarks. I consider Elena’s paper to be an outstanding contribution to the field of psychoanalytic thought."
"I believe Elena has advanced the psychoanalyst’s ability to use ideas from chaos, complexity, and nonlinear dynamics systems theories. Not only does she familiarize the reader with aspects of these theories she also creates a way of applying these theories to the psychoanalytic world through the introduction of new ideas." (p. xv)
