Attention seeking: A perspective from chaos theory

Author:

Mellor Nigel

Abstract

Attention seeking behaviour is a relatively neglected topic in the academic literature; this paper aims to contribute further to its understanding. Insights from chaos theory have been applied to a wide range of issues. The purpose of this article is to use an aspect of chaos theory, the butterfly effect, to explore aspects of attention seeking behaviour cycles. The paper draws on casework experience and highlights a wide range of areas for further research.
