Stephen White Biography
Stephen White is the author of the New York Times bestselling Alan Gregory
novels. In his books, he draws upon over fifteen years of clinical practice as a
psychologist to create intriguing plots and complex, believable characters.
Born on Long Island, White grew up in New York, New Jersey, and Southern
California and attended the University of California campuses at Irvine (where
he lasted three weeks as a creative writing major) and Los Angeles before
graduating from Berkeley in 1972. Along the way he learned to fly small planes,
worked as a tour guide at Universal Studios in Los Angeles, cooked and waited
tables at Chez Panisse in Berkeley, and tended bar at the Red Lion Inn in
Boulder.
Trained as a clinical psychologist, he received his Ph.D. from the University of
Colorado in 1979 and became known as an authority on the psychological effects
of marital disruption, especially on men. White's research has appeared in
Psychological Bulletin and other professional journals and books. After
receiving his doctorate, White not only worked in private practice but also at
the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, and later as a staff
psychologist at The Children's Hospital in Denver, where he focused his
attention on pediatric cancer patients. During those years he became acquainted
with a colleague in Los Angeles, another pediatric psychologist named Jonathan
Kellerman. At the time, Kellerman and White were two of only about a dozen
psychologists in the country working in pediatric oncology.
White began his first novel in 1989 while he was still practicing full time. Privileged Information, the first in his Alan Gregory series, was published in 1991.
