The Bulletin was launched in October 1961 with James P. Cattell, M.D. as its first Editor and David M. Levy, M.D. as Consulting Editor with Drs. Arnold M. Cooper, Howard Davidman, Terry C. Rodgers, and Daniel Shapiro as Associate Editors. Although the idea for a Bulletin of the Association for Psychoanalytic Medicine was discussed as early as 1945, it was George Goldman, M.D., the President of the APM, who appointed the Committee on Publication in 1960 and eventually named the first editorial staff. The initial circulation was 300 that reached 1200 by 1970 (for comparison, today our circulation is in the range of 2600 -3000).
