This paper provides a general framework for the use of Theory of Dynamic Systems (TDS) in the field of psychotherapy research. Psychotherapy is inherently dynamic, namely a function of time. Consequently, the improvement of construct validity and clinical relevance of psychotherapy process research require the development of models of investigation allowing dynamic mappings of clinical exchange. Thus, TDS becomes a significant theoretical and methodological reference. The paper focuses two topics. First, the main concepts of TDS are briefly introduced together with a basic typology of approaches developed within this domain. Second, we propose a repertoire of investigation strategies that can be used to capture the dynamic nature of clinical exchange. In this way we intend to highlight the feasibility and utility of strategies of analysis informed by TDS.
本文为动态系统理论（TDS）在心理治疗研究领域的应用提供了一个总体框架。心理治疗本质上是动态的，即时间的函数。因此，提高心理治疗过程研究的结构效度和临床相关性需要开发能够对临床交流进行动态映射的调查模型。于是，TDS成为一个重要的理论和方法学参考。本文聚焦两个主题。第一，简要介绍TDS的主要概念以及该领域内发展出的方法的基本类型。第二，我们提出一系列调查策略，可用于捕捉临床交流的动态本质。通过这种方式，我们旨在突出由TDS启发的分析策略的可行性和实用性。
