Negative feedback

of feedback? - -positive feedback
- When a system returns to its previous homeostasis after positive feedback
- -first-order change
- When a system restructures its homeostasis and its rules fundamentally
shift - -second-order change
- The two elements of a communicated message are - -the report (content)

- In MRI therapy, solutions that perpetuate the problem are called - -"More
of the same" solutions
