Teoria Generale dei sistemi, Game TheoryAbstract
In this paper, our goal is to draw a connection between Systems Psychology and Game Theory. To this aim, we first describe some of the main concepts of these theories, and then we compare them. In particular, we feel very useful and inspiring the connection between the rules of a system and the equilibria of a game. To enlighten the power of this connection, we review a clinical case under the lens of Game Theory. We conclude the work suggesting other possible connections that may exist between these two theories.Downloads
