  The present communication addresses a set of observations, obeying both
deterministic as well as statistical formal requirements, and serving to
operate within the framework of the dynamical systems theory, with a certain
emphasis placed on initial data. It is argued that statistical approaches can
manifest themselves non unequivocally, leading to certain virtual discrepancies
in psychological and/or cognitive data analyses, termed sometimes in literature
as, questionable research practices. This communication points to the demand
for a deep awareness of the data origins, which can indicate whether the
exponential (Malthus type) or the algebraic (Pareto type) statistical
distribution ought to be effectively considered in practical interpretation.
This is also related to the question of how frequently patients behave in a
specific way, and the significance of these behaviors in determining a
patient's progression or regression, involving a certain memory effect. In this
perspective, it is discussed how a sensitively applied hazardous or triggering
factor can be helpful for well-controlled psychological strategic treatments,
also those attributable to obsessive/compulsive disorders or even
self-injurious behaviors, with their both criticality and complexity exploiting
relations between a therapist and a patient.
