Spontaneous magnetic reconnection often occurs in toroidal laboratory plasmas as a result of resistive MHD tearing instability. The interaction of these instabilities can lead to a set of magnetic self-organization phenomena, including dynamo-like effects, anomalous ion heating, anomalous momentum transport, and magnetic chaos and turbulence. A brief review of magnetic reconnection and the dynamo in reversed field pinch plasmas is presented. The reversed field pinch is a particular toroidal magnetic geometry in which the confining magnetic field is generated primarily by current in the plasma, and so magnetic self-organization is particularly strong.
