Theodore Isaac Rubin (April 11, 1923 – February 16, 2019) was an American psychiatrist and author.[1][2] Rubin was a past president of the American Institute for Psychoanalysis and the Karen Horney Institute for Psychoanalysis. He lived in New York City and was married to Eleanor Katz.
Life and career
Rubin served in the U.S. Navy during World War II.[3] He was a long-time contributing columnist to the Ladies' Home Journal (1972-?), and the author of more than 25 works of fiction and non-fiction. In 1962, director Frank Perry made the acclaimed film David and Lisa from Rubin's novel Lisa and David. The film was remade by entertainer Oprah Winfrey in 1998. His book Shrink: The Diary of a Psychiatrist, was written in the times of his residences in different psychiatric hospitals in the West Coast of the United States until his decision to move to New York. Rubin died on February 16, 2019, at the age of 95.[3] Rubin appeared as himself on the April 11, 1966, episode of the game show To Tell the Truth. He was introduced to the audience as a psychologist who counseled people on how to diet and lose weight. Only after he revealed himself did the show's host, Bud Collyer, identify him as a novelist and the author of David and Lisa.[4]
