Every Term. Where It Comes From.

Glossary and sources for every named concept in this book

Reminder

Each chapter teaches a habit.
This page explains its terms and the research behind them.

Why this exists Every chapter's "Behind the Concept" section names the term that researchers and experienced clinicians use for the habit it teaches. This page gathers those terms in one place: what each one means, which chapters use it, and the published work behind it, so you can read the sources yourself.
How to use it Browse the Glossary A–Z for a term's meaning, the chapters that use it and its key sources (tap a source for its full citation), or switch to Bibliography for the full list of works in APA style. Chapter terms link straight here, and each entry links back to its chapters. Looking for a named framework instead? See the Framework Index.
Reading the tags Key source means the term is closely associated with particular papers or books.
No single source means it is an established term not credited to any one work.
Teaching label means this book's own name for the habit: the sources support the idea, not the name.
The works listed are those most often cited for each idea. They are not claims about who described it first.
