Part I: Theory -- The how, what, and why of functional synchronization -- Synchronization in the emergence of basic mental functions -- Higher Order Mental Functions -- Mental calibration: The synchronization of mind and action -- Synchronization in the Emergence of Social Relations -- Synchronization in Groups and Societies -- Part II: Social Relevance -- What makes profound, peaceful social transitions successful? The example of the underground Solidarity movement -- Social Entrepreneurs and Social Synchronization -- Family Therapy: In and Out of SYNC -- Epilogue: Intermittent synchronization in context.

This book introduces the reader to the concept of functional synchronization and how it operates on very different levels in psychological and social systems – from the emergence of thought to the formation of social relations and the structure of societies. For years, psychologists have investigated phenomena such as self-concept, social judgment, social relations, group dynamics, and cooperation and conflict, but have discussed these phenomena seoarately.This book shows how synchronization provides a foundational approach to these otherwise distinct and diverse psychological processes.This work shows that there is a basic tendency with many processes to become coordinated and progressively integrated into increasingly larger units through well-defined processes. For these larger units, new and largely adaptive functions emerge. Although synchronization affords progressive integration of system elements to enable correspondingly higher-order functions, the trajectory of synchronization is often characterized by periods of assembly and disassembly of system elements. This occurs when a task is completed and synchronization is no longer essential so that the elements once again operate in an independent fashion. It is argued that the disassembly-resynchronization scenario occurs at all levels of psychological and social reality. The implications of this approach for important issues in interpersonal relations and societal processes are discussed.
