“…One more common way in which APA presidents used the past to make sense of the present was by reviewing the enormous changes that had happened in the profession. But rather than going back to the 19th century, most presidents looked back to the 1960s, or occasionally to the post-World War II years, to find the beginnings of the major changes of the late 20th century (127)(128)(129)(130)(131). In 1988, Paul Fink (132) explained the commonly understood chronology of recent changes in psychiatry: "The 1950s were a decade in which psychoanalysis dominated the field.…”

The address of the retiring president of the American Psychiatric Association has been a traditional part of the annual meeting of the association since 1883. The presidential address, which has explicitly been exempted from general discussion or criticism, has become an opportunity for the elected leader of the association to reflect on the state of the profession. Over the last 120 years, the presidents of the association have themselves engaged with the history of psychiatry in ways that reflect the changes in psychiatry of the time. In the process, memory has served a professionalizing purpose, as some aspects of psychiatry's history have been remembered while others have not. In the presidential addresses, history is not just a story about the past but also a story about psychiatry's self-definition and its future.

Significant changes were found in two indices of the averaged visual evoked potentials in nine smokers after 12 and 36 hours of abstinence and after resumption of smoking. There was a decrease of the amplitude envelope accompanying withdrawal and an increase with resumption of smoking. These changes are consistent with the contention that tobacco increases arousal. Amplitude changes were found in a specific component of the evoked potential occurring between 100 and 125 milliseconds after the onset of the flash. The latter changes suggest the possibility that smoking selectively enhances the perceptiont of weak stimuli.
