I have forgotten the etiology of the term "shrink".

Can someone remind me?


Second: 

Why were psychologists called alienists through the early part of the last

Third:

I DO REMEMBER why we get our head examined! That comes from when 
phrenology was in vogue and people, even employers would send prospective 
employees, to phrenologists to have the bumps read on their heads: hence, 
having one's head examined.
