I have started a project to construct an online dictionary of fear and anxiety. This is a growing work in action and will develop over time. It will include a full list of definitions of phobias, anxiety and fear related terms as well as phrases and words used in fear and anxiety / emotion regulation, emotional resilience research. Like The Fear Course References and The Fear Course Phobia List, The Fear Course Dictionary of Fear and Anxiety should be seen as work in progress. I hope you find them useful. Have a look here. Enjoy.
