Justin A. Frank (born February 25, 1943, in Los Angeles, CA) is an American author who practices and teaches psychoanalysis in Washington, DC. Frank is a frequent contributor to The Huffington Post on topics as diverse as politics, film, and theater.[1] He is a former clinical professor of psychiatry at the George Washington University Medical Center.[1]

Frank completed his psychiatric residency at the Harvard Medical School and became the chief resident at the Cambridge Hospital. Frank was awarded the DuPont-Warren Fellowship by Massachusetts General Hospital. Frank is also the co-director of the Metropolitan Center for Object Relations in New York.[2]

Frank employs the principles of applied psychoanalysis to put together the kind of psychological profile used in his books about U.S. presidents: Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President, which was extensively quoted from by Fidel Castro in his annual speech in 2004,[3][4][5][6] and Obama on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President.[7][8][9][10][11] In 2018, he published Trump on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President.
