A "Shrink" is short for "Head Shrinker", one who shrinks heads as some primitive tribes (used to) do in the Southern Pacific. It used to be meant as a pejorative term but has come into common parlance to describe a psychiatrist or anyone engaged in psychology. Any doctor addressing mental problems could be called a "Shrink".
