ABSTRACT

In science, complete reproducibility is the ideal for pursuing the issue of the causal relationship and complete reproducibility exists only in mathematics, except for statistics. Here, the human mind obeying chaos theory has poor reproducibility, therefore, psychology is explained by various languages and statistics. However, a normal distribution as a premise of statistics never exists in chaotic phenomena and all languages are always misunderstood. Therefore, scientific development is delayed in the field of psychology. Now, counseling techniques are explained not with equations but with language such as "listening," "reception," and "synesthesia." Therefore, they are understood incompletely because the most important role of a counselor is never taught to Japanese nurses. Consequently, nurses condone some illegal acts, including committing self-injurious behavior or inflicting injury on others. In particular, they condone child abuse by misusing the counseling technique. In this report, the counseling process is explained by chaos theory, some equations, and entropy change, mathematically. Because the counselor's role, the client's role and the counseling process will become clear, misusing counseling techniques will be prevented with this theory. Also, as far as the scientific development of psychology goes, it will be very useful that the counseling process is explained with mathematics (especially equations) without statistics.
