Publication trends in American psychiatry were examined by means of a large sample of the psychiatric literature from 4 general psychiatric journals over a 117-year period. This paper concerns the general categories of subjects treated in the literature and changes in etiological emphasis. In later reports, trends in treatment, research and other categories will be traced.
