About this project
Words you can build on.
PsychTerms is an independent project for psychology and counselling terms. It is being rebuilt from sources with verified permission for reuse. The number of entries will follow the sources and the quality of the work.
A preview, not a release
Candidate definitions are drafted from the sources shown and published before the two-reader pass. Reviewed means one independent reader passed it; judged means two. The drafter never counts as a reader. Every entry shows its status. Reader models recorded in this preview: gpt-5.4-mini-2026-03-17. Numbered-release inclusion is a separate marker and does not change the review status. No numbered release has been published. Fifteen-word copy matches are withheld; shorter wording concerns are labelled for review. Human review happens on the live preview. Vignettes are deferred.
