discipline discipline Explanation: I think you should respect the writer and leave it as it is. They've chosen to use this term in a special way, and explained that it refers to "fundamental rules and principles allow[ing] one to deal with the majority of clinical cases". One meaning of discipline is an accepted code of behaviour - it's a mindset as much as a set of techniques. For example, yoga has disciplines. |
