11、s Theory concepts of organization,non-summative wholeness,control,self-regulation,equifinality,and self-organization,are as valid in the social and behavioral sciences as they are in the biological.This led Von Bertalanffy to postulate a new discipline,its subject matter being the formulation and de
12、rivation of those principles which are valid for systems in general.Ludwig von Bertalanffy(1901-1972)in the 1930s Bertalanffy formulated the organismic system theory that later became the kernel of the GSTHis starting point was to deduce the phenomena of life from a spontaneous grouping of system fo
