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.
