family psychotherapy: circularity/recursiveness/circular
causality
These terms refer to a sequence of cause and effect that leads back to a first cause
and either confirms or changes that first cause. This principle also applies to the
processes of logical conclusions and argument. The most elementary model of circularity
is the so-called feedback loop; its conceptual opposite is lineality.*
