Abstract
A major problem in understanding human behavior is the development of a language in which to codify it. Dynamical systems theory offers both the tools and the rudimentary architecture with which to construct such a language. Although dynamical conceptual models of human behavior and psychopathology surfaced a century ago [1,2], most of the mathematics of nonlinear dynamical systems theory has a more recent origin [3]. In this work we present a series of coupled difference equations that have qualitative properties sufficiently rich to encompass some of the behavioral phenomena observed by clinicians for two distinct psychiatric conditions: acute schizophrenia, and panic attacks.
