The new, completely revised, and updated edition of this classic text --sponsored by the International Epidemiological Association IEA and previously edited by John Last-- remains the definitive dictionary in epidemiology worldwide. In fact, with contributions from over epidemiologists and other users of epidemiology from around the globe, it is more than a dictionary: it includes explanations and comments on both core epidemiologic terms and on other scientific terms relevant to all professionals in clinical medicine and public health, as well.

The purpose of the cross-references is to enable a reader who has looked up a word to obtain additional information that is either directly or indirectly relevant to it, and in general to encourage the use of the dictionary as an aid to serious scholarship. The selection of headwords for this dictionary was not an easy task.
I had to discard many words that could have gone in, and hard choices had to be made. Dilemmas were resolved by asking the following two questions: Is the word used in psychological books and articles? Are readers likely to want to look it up? The headwords that were finally selected include the core terminology of psychology, together with technical words that originate from other disciplines but are often used by psychologists.
Many of the technical terms of psychiatry, psychoanalysis, neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, pharmacology, computing, optometry, ethology, genetics, statistics, philosophy, linguistics, sociology, and anthropology have migrated into psychology and become partly naturalized there, and the most important ones are included in this dictionary.
The basic vocabulary of psychoanalysis is included in this dictionary, although—in fact, partly because—other dictionaries of psychology omit most psychoanalytic terms and concepts altogether and treat the ones that are included only superficially.
In this dictionary, terms introduced by Sigmund Freud are defined in sufficient detail to convey their meanings without trivialization, and key terms coined by subsequent psychoanalysts, including Jung, Adler, Erikson, Klein, Fairbairn, Winnicott, Kohut, Lacan, and Reich, are also included.
Jung, edited by Read, Fordham, and Adler, using arabic volume and paragraph numbers, as is conventional in Jungian literature. Appendix I, at the back of the dictionary, contains a list of phobias and phobic stimuli, with etymologies, that is, as far as I am aware, the most comprehensive available.
Appendix II contains an extensive list of over abbreviations and symbols commonly used in psychology, cross-referenced to corresponding entries in the main body of the dictionary. Appendix III contains the list of web links mentioned earlier. The were selected with great care and will be useful to any serious student of psychological concepts and terminology. Occasional suggestions are made for renaming concepts that seem to be misnamed. Scattered throughout the dictionary are suggestions for practical demonstrations of dramatic or interesting psychological phenomena that can be observed under home conditions.
Friends, relatives, and colleagues have asked me where I found the headwords and the information used to define them. The answer is—everywhere. In some cases I managed to access the required information close to home in my own long-term memory store; more often, I looked in journal articles, textbooks, and reference works; in many cases I asked leading authorities in the relevant research areas for help; and increasingly often I have used the internet.
I wrote this dictionary in circumstances that were difficult for me at work, and I am lucky to have had a lot of support and advice. Acknowledgements to people who helped me are provided elsewhere in these preliminary pages, though I take responsibility for errors that have no doubt remained. A list of the textbooks and reference works that I found most useful is provided at the back of the dictionary.
