Dana Amir (Hebrew: דנה אמיר; born 1966) is a full professor at Haifa University, clinical psychologist, psychoanalyst, poet and literature researcher.

Dana Amir was born and raised in Haifa[1] and attended the Hebrew Reali School.

She is a full professor, vice dean for research and head of the interdisciplinary doctoral program in psychoanalysis, department of counseling and human development at Haifa University, and the editor-in-chief of Maarag - the Israel Annual of Psychoanalysis (published by the Hebrew University).

[4] Amir developed several psycho-linguistic concepts which map various pathological dimensions: "Pseudo-Language" versus "Concrete Language",[5] "Psychotic Syntax",[6] "Autistic Syntax",[7] "The Chameleon Language of perversion"[8] and "the inner function of the witness".

Its subtle and penetrating glance is crystalized here into pure, divine lyrics, and produces an exquisite and appealing volume, one of the most beautiful ever written in Hebrew”.
