An effective action and potential for composite operators is obtained. The formalism is used to analyze, by variational techniques, dynamical symmetry breaking and coherent solutions to field theory. A Rayleigh-Ritz procedure is introduced which replaces arbitrary variations with parametric variations. Previously unsolved nonlinear equations become, in the Rayleigh-Ritz approximation, solvable algebraic equations.
