Editor's Note: On the masthead page of every issue, under the Taking Issue commentary, we state that this journal was established in 1950 by Daniel Blain, M.D. Next month we begin our year-long 50th anniversary celebration with a series of historical articles highlighting some of the important developments in psychiatry over that period. This month we set the stage with this article by Lucy Ozarin, M.D., who has been closely associated with the journal from its inception.
