Click below to read Steve's bio and background Steve Biddulph was a psychologist from the mid-1970’s until the early 2000’s. He is retired now but continues to write and sometimes teach. Steve’s books have sold over a million copies in each of these countries - Australia, the UK, Brazil, and Germany, and over two million copies in China. And lots more in 28 other languages. Making him the top selling parenting author in the world this century. (His nearest competitors are The Whole Brain Child, and Phillipa Perry’s excellent book, both on 3 million each and also excellent books!) Steve has an Order of Australia for his work in teenage mental health, and was voted Australian Father of the Year for his role in encouraging the role of fathers in the modern family. He studied as a Churchill Fellow in the western United States in group and family therapy, and his dissertation was on preventive mental health programs in small groups in primary school. He is married to Shaaron Biddulph, and because he is neurodivergent has been helped by her enormously over the forty years they have been together, to better able to contribute to the lives of others. Steve identifies as Interfaith, and comes from a Methodist left wing Christian tradition, which emphasises inclusion and endless revolution. He co-founded and co-lead the creation of the SIEVX Memorial in Canberra to the victims of that non accidental mass drowning tragedy. He also co-founded www.sufty.org to focus older people on the intergenerational genocide represented by climate change. Apart from that, he is surprisingly light hearted and going happily into cognitive decline. He enjoys kayaking, and being with friends old and young. He is presently working on a project called “The Decade of Farewell” and blogs about that elsewhere on this site.
