Keith Russell Ablow was born on November 23, 1961, in Marblehead, Massachusetts. He graduated magna cum laude from Brown University in 1983 with a Bachelor of Science degree in neurosciences. He then earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from Johns Hopkins Medical School in 1987 and completed his psychiatry residency at Tufts-New England Medical Center. Ablow became Board Certified by the American Board of Psychiatry & Neurology in psychiatry in 1993 and in forensic psychiatry in 1999. During his medical training, he also worked as a reporter for Newsweek and as a freelancer for publications such as The Washington Post, Baltimore Sun, and USA Today. After his residency, he served as the medical director of the Tri-City Mental Health Centers, followed by a role as medical director of Heritage Health Systems and Associate Medical Director of Boston Regional Medical Center.
Ablow has authored fifteen books, including non-fiction titles like “Medical School: Getting In, Staying In, Staying Human” (1987) and “Living the Truth: Transform Your Life Through the Power of Insight and Honesty” (2007). He also wrote a series of mystery novels featuring forensic psychiatrist Frank Clevenger, starting with “Denial” (1998). In television, he hosted “The Dr. Keith Ablow Show,” syndicated by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution during the 2006–07 season. Following the show’s cancellation, he served as a contributing editor for Good Housekeeping and a columnist for the New York Post. He also contributed commentary and analysis for the Fox News Channel until 2017.
His career saw him as an assistant clinical professor at Tufts University School of Medicine. In 2011, Ablow resigned from the American Psychiatric Association, citing disagreement with the APA’s stance on transgender surgeries. In May 2019, his medical license was suspended by the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine, and subsequently by New York state, due to allegations of sexual and unethical misconduct.
