What are some bullet points to begin research on the history of the notion of fear/phobias? (e.g. Hippocrates, Watson, Freud, etc.)

As a start, you might want to look at a couple of on-line Classics in the History of Psychology articles. Articles by Watson and Mary Cover Jones are on-line: 1. http://psychclassics.yorku.ca/Watson/emotion.htm 2. http://psychclassics.yorku.ca/Jones/ Hope that helps.

See Moehle & Levitt's The history of the concepts of fear and anxiety in C. E. Walker's Clinical psychology: Historical and research foundations, Plenum Press, 1991.
