It is true that the journal announcement I forwarded is not clear about
that. The society publishing the journal is the Society for Chaos Theory in
Psychology and the Life Sciences. More info about SCTPLS is available on
the Web at http://www.vanderbilt.edu/AnS/psychology/cogsci/chaos/cspls.html

I include the summary description:

---------------------------------------
Purpose of the Society

The Society is an international forum bringing together researchers,
theoreticians,
and practitioners interested in applying dynamical systems theory,
far-from-equilibrium thermodynamics, self-organization, neural nets, fractals
cellular automata, and related forms of chaos, catastrophes, bifurcations,
nonlinear
dynamics, and complexity theories to psychology and the life sciences.

Our members hail from numerous specialties within psychology and the social
sciences as well as from biology, physiology, neuroscience, mathematics,
philosophy,
physics, computer science, economics, education, management, political science,
engineering, and the world of art. At the time this page was prepared, we
have 470
members worldwide.

The Society was founded at its first meeting held in San Francisco, 1991.
Co-founders
were Fred Abraham, Allan Combs, Tom Gentry, and Larry Vandervert.
