The annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association is always something of a jamboree but this year its Sesquicentennial Celebration (1844–1994), held in its birthplace Philadelphia PA, was especially splendid with a birthday gala held in the elegant and richly endowed Art Gallery. However, attendance at the Philadelphia meeting was disappointing with only 15,000 delegates.
